Question by supak464: Mother out of rehab after 28 days for Meth on Monday… on Thursday went out drinking!?
Ok does anyone have any thoughts? [you can read my other questions for info!] Child custody, hearing is this upcoming wednesday (finally after she got out of rehab)! apparently she just dont really care.. was supposed to visit daughter at dance for parent observation week, but told her daughter she had to go get her “bowl on.. she hadnt bowled in so long”… left daughter visibly upset, but she must hear these things so often that she clung to her dad that whole night..
Can you make a recovery work if you are drinking??! 3 days after rehab especially????? She is in denial that she was/is an alcoholic and obviously doesnt think that it has any effect on her meth addiction.
Oh and we have counseling starting on Monday for daughter… one step closer to the recovery process of a 10 year old! Shes been through too much .. :-(
We have a miracle! :::rolls eyes:::
Our lawyer ordered Private investigator after we found out her intentions. got pictures and have report of her drinking.

Give your answer to this question below!
The Mother is no way ready to be a parent, and this child need to come first at any cost.
Substance abuse destroyed my life when I was a kid. Do whatever it takes to get that kid out of that situation..I wish someone would have stepped in for me but back then everybody “minded their own business” and turned a blind eye to my suffering.
She’s not in denial…she’s an addict. She’s just changing what she’s “using”. She’s going to have to WANT to change her ways. Unfortunately for her family, as well as herself, she’s decided she doesn’t want to. Sometimes people have to loose everything before they can decide to change.
Press at Court for sole Custody and only to have Court supervised visitation. Keep her daughter in Counseling and see what type of literature they have for pre-teens on enabling a parent with addiction. Search out group meetings such as Nar-Anon or Al-Anon in your area for the whole family.
Good Luck to all of you & write if you’d like
First, I really respect your clear love and concern for your step-daughter. Whether your s.d. is able to acknowledge you or not, she is lucky to have you in her life. And kudos on being able to get her in to counseling. I wish I could get my husband to stand up to his ex and fight to get counseling for my step-son.
As for the addiction issue. In my experience, those who have any substance abuse issue are extremely vulnerable to having issues with other substances as well. In essence, sometimes it’s like they trade one addiction for another. And it’s not just with substances. It might become cigarettes or coffee or food or shopping, etc.
It sounds like mom really doesn’t know how/isn’t ready/doesn’t want the responsibility of being a mom.
Hang in there?
The sad part is she can’t care she has a disease that makes her not care, but she has to want to be sober nobody can make her sober sad to say not even her daughter.no she cannot make recovery work if she is drinking she needs to go back to rehab and get honest with herself and then needs to go to meetings everyday {n.a. or a.a.}. Only she can do this people making her go get help will get her started but in the long run only she can help herself.i wish you and your family all lthe luck and will keep you in my prayers.
