Meth Addiction & Recovery Support Group

I pray for strength for you! I believe you are doing the right thing. And you are being honest when you tell him she is sick.
I would suggest not allowing contact when she is using. The kids don't need to see her like that and it provides incentive for your daughter to stay clean.

Keeping them from seeing the ugly of it all is the best thing you can do! It has to be rough to watch the downward spiral. We all know she will only get help and clean up if she wants too.

Thank you. I want to go for some sort of temporary custody for the boys. My concern is the father...he likes to drink but holds down a full time job. He has recently moved in with some girl so he is away from the drug infested apartments that they all lived in but remains in the same neighborhood. Here is an example he doesn't like to take the boys on the weekend because it will interfere with his partying. I have pictures of the boys from when they had them verses now after they have been with me. If I get a lawyer do you think that I have a chance? At this time I am just trying to be cool to keep the boys at my house without a fight. We are going on 5 months and he still hasn't gotten them any medical through the state.

As a recovering meth addict who currently has not had her kids for a year, I must say, get her info on treatment, present it to her. Not having your babies fuels that fire. I could not stop using to drown out that constant screamin guilt of them being gone, the final proof of my failure. and to top it off they went with my ex husband who used to do AWFUL things to me during our drug use. he is on parole and sober. so he got them. I have been sober since january, thanks to rehab. give her the option of seeking treatment. My kids are 7 6 and 5. When they ask questions I tell them the truth. They are smart, i know they seen a lot, I cant act like they are stupid. A prime example, they ask why we couldnt go see sylvia, i looked him in the eye and said because she is on drugs. I do not see her any more because I do not do drugs any more. he just said oh, ok. nothing more. then went on to the next conversation.
