Sorry to take up the bandwidth, but if anyone would care to discuss some things with me, I could really use another perspective. On Saturday, my kids got letters from their father. He's an alcoholic who has been homeless for a number of years. He seems to be in his 5 or 6th month of sobriety and now lives with a woman that he met in Rehab. This is the first that we've really heard from him in 6+ years. Although I'm happy that he is in recovery, I'm protective of my children. I would really like to hear from list members who are either in recovery, parents of recovered addicts, parents who lost children or worked with alternative visitation. I really want to approach this new twist in my life with as much compassion and fairness as possible. Right now, I really need to talk with someone about this whole situation and could use some outside perspectives. All replies will be kept confidential and I thank you in advance. Best to all, MG Tonight's whine: "when's Nikki coming backkkkkkkkkkk?"
