testified in a Santa Monica, California, court that she was endangering his

life by drunk-driving.

Jack Cortese, 15, told the court that his mother embarrassed him when she

turned up drunk at a friend's house and then insisted that he come home with

her.

The teen said, "I attempted to keep her from driving her car, but she was

very demanding.

"My mother demanded that my friend go with us. He refused to drive with her

because she was drunk.

"Unfortunately, this is not the only incident in which I have seen my mother

drunk."

Cortese, who is now living with Delaney's ex-husband Joe Cortese, claimed he

hadn't seen his mom since Aug. 11 and is keen on keeping his distance.

He added, "I do not want to be with her until she has completed rehab and is

sober. I am very concerned for my safety when I am with her."

The actress's alcohol problems were highlighted three years ago when she

was arrested for drunk-driving.
