Question by Missymae: Can he use her past “treatments” to take away her boys?
My best friend has 2 boys. one is 6 one is a newborn. She has had an addiction problem in the past. She had the gastric bypass surgery and all went haywire. She was admitted into rehab again because her depression meds weren’t settling right with her, and she became “zoned out”7/08. They have done drug test on her and she is CLEAN. and has been for almost 3 yrs. Her husband on the other hand is a jerk. I understand that he doesn’t want to go threw the same hel* again with her. but he is constantly threatening her that he will take the boys away.”his family has more money then hers” telling her when she can go out side and when she cant. She had a Csection and a tubal ligation. 5 days after delivery she ended up having an uterine infection with caused an emergency hysterectomy. He is in control of all her meds. he gives her one pain pill for the entire day and tells her to make it last. She is afraid to take it because of what he may say. she does have her aunt staying there helping this month.

He forgets that while she was pregnant with the oldest he was an alcoholic. He would try to come pick the baby up from my house drunk, every day of the week when i would watch him. she gave him the ultimatum that he had to quit drinking. He went the opposite..he now EATS SLEEPS BREATHS TALKS church. You may not speak in the house if you are not talking about god. there is no other reason to speak unless it is about god. Religion is great but this is extreme.

Can he take the kids? What can she do. She wants to leave him but is afraid of him taking the kids.

Answer by Phoenix
Regardless if she has been in a sober environment for those 3 years, the judge will take her current situation into consideration for any custody arrangement. Is she now financially, emotionally, and physically able to take care of both children? It does not matter the matter the amount of “financial backing”, that his family may have. If anything, it will be to her benefit. Make sure that she is ready to make the steps to leave him. She will have many options through the state to help her situation, once she is divorced. She will also be able to get child support from him. Make sure no matter what situation she has to be in to leave him, ( staying with a friend or relative), that she always maintains primary custody of the children. She may allow him visits, but make sure those kids are with her 75% of the time. Hope this helps

Answer by George J
The drug addict will strongly deny that the use of drugs is the reason for a deteriorating situation. He or she tends to blame the problems they have on people around them, including friends, co-workers, and loved ones, and the treatment group where the addict is a member. Being in a treatment group with such a person is very, very difficult if that person is hostile and blaming. It becomes obvious that the drug habit is the real problem. Most treatment groups will tolerate this situation for a while, hoping the problem “solves itself” by merely disappearing, or that the addict will respond to suggestions, or even ultimatums that they “clean up their act.” Ultimatums may be temporarily effective, but unless the addict seeks true rehabilitation, problems will invariably recur. Sadly, many addicts lose their jobs and are left alone, denying responsibility, blaming the band member(s) responsible for his or her firing.

When a drug addict loses his or her job, it’s because the other workers have been forced to make a choice. A treatment group is a unique environment: one third team, one third business, one third family. It’s very difficult to discharge a member from is “family” when the person is in such obvious trouble and pain. And yet, that person is most likely not contributing fully to the team effort, and may actually be severely damaging himself and otherst. The drug addict may have to cancel appointments, or drop out of treatment if he is unable to perform, and the situation becomes more critical when the other family meembers are also involved with drugs. It becomes difficult to include feeding a family, or paying rent or a mortgage. Every drug addict is an individual, and the demands of every family member’s situation. There are limits to the number of times treatment group members are able to give the addict the benefit of the doubt, and to the number of broken promises a band is able to endure.

The past decade has seen increased awareness of and concern for drug addicts, and increased ability to effectively treat their illness. There are full-time self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), and its first cousin Narcotics Anonymous (NA) dedicated to providing drug addicts with help and support. There are many other public and private organizations with similar goals, including those oriented towards helping “concerned persons” – the family, friends, and co-workers of addicts. One of these groups is an excellent place for band members to go for help with bringing one of their own to rehabilitation. While AA and NA offer free support, private rehabilitation facilities can be very costly. The costs and types of rehabilitation programs vary however, and the addition of substance abuse to the list of illnesses recognized by the AMA has made treatment for drug addiction eligible for coverage under many health insurance policies.

Answer by mommyx21978
She can only be forced into rehab if she is a danger to herself or others. if that is the case you should be able to have the police “chapter” her (put her in the hospital)

Answer by charlton_g_w
impossible. you might be able to have her committed if she is really a danger to herself or others (and that is usually about a 72 hour hold) but otherwise, you are SOL.

if you are over 18, get away from her. far far away and GET YOUR BUTT TO ALANON NOW…. NOW NOW NOW ALANON.
