- If this were not true, it would be laughable. I heard from a very reliable source about at judge that is ruling in favor of a dad who is a heroin addict. Her statement was something like this: He is a heroin addict, but he has it under control. ...
- I have been feeling very strong about being our gd's advocate, keeping her safe and continuing with court stuff to keep dad (my son) from removing our guardianship. But last nite, middle of nite, I wandered into "Families and Friends of Addicts",...
- Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. Judge ordered soon to take 90 day hair test (deadline 7days) before she will rule on anything else. I know he used May11 for sure. Judge said "my ruling will be what's best for 4 year old."
- We have been working with child therapist. Recently, gd (4 years old) is quite mad at dad for lots of broken 'pinky promises' to visit. When he did call, she did not mention how upset she was. Gd said she did not want to hurt his feelings. ...
- I am CONVINCED that poor parenting does become healthy parenting. No classes, coaches or ultimatums bring on acceptable behavior. We see it again and again here. Can anyone offer some examples of success?
- I finished reading Raising our Children's Children. It was an easy read, and fyi, it is Christian faith based, however it's not just about faith. I am not a Christian, and there was lots of interesting info.Now I am reading "The Sacred Work of...
- This book was suggested in a post, and I got it (used) from Amazon. It is an easy read, and easy to find ourselves in the pages. Good for midnight cant sleep time.
- We have been spending so much time and energy preparing for Fri court date when son will attempt to have our 'permanent guardianship' vacated. It's just such a pity that my husband, gd and I are losing so much of our family time, while all my son...
- Since it's hard to recall each of our situations, here is a brief recap: We got permanent guardianship (till age 18) of 4 year old gd who has leukemia (ongoing treatment for at least another year) Sept 2013. Parents are addicted, but my son...
- I am going to post on advice, since posts seem more active right now. And surely I could use some advice (and support)! See you there.
- Just one issue after another. My son has heard gd call me Mom several times and he corrects her. Tonite she had a meltdown over it. She's just 4, for heaven sake, and it's been her choice recently to sometimes call me Mom. He's here now, all...
- I would like to open this topic for discussion. We have had our gd for 6 months, have guardianship till age 18, and she is age 4. Understanding that parents can go to court and show 'some clean drug screens' really makes me fret. What are your...
- I posted this pic as my avatar. Found this after addicts visited. We have some of these droppers for gd meds, but they are all labeled and color coded, so this is not one of them. The stuff inside is cloudy and a bit like watery vaseline. There...

- I have been posting so much here today, while gd is asleep. I'm just so mad, mad, mad. I dont want to hog the boards here. In our case, I think it would be so much easier if they would just disappear taking with them all their lies, hopes they...
