How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

affirmative action but -and here comes the irony- they do this after pledging their loyalty to GW Bush for 8 years -who we all know got into Yale even though he was known to be an alcoholic, a coke-head and a wild party guy- because he was a “Legacy” student with a father who-at the time- was head of the Republican National Committee.

So, if the alcoholic. coke-head son of an influential party member gets into Yale because daddy has money and connections that’s perfectly fine with the far right, but if anyone so much as used the phrase “Affirmative Action” in relation to Obama’s admission process at Harvard that’s grounds for impeachment?

I am a fully competent person. I have never been arrested. I have only gotten minor traffic tickets. I have never been an alcoholic or drug-addict. I raised by son from birth to six months old with no supervision but I do not have “proof” that I did. I took care of him unsupervised and did fine. I do not have any mental illnesses. She is saying I should pay an expert to supervise my visitation until the supervisor concludes I am capable of raising a child. I do not see why this is necessary because I am a fully competent person. In most cases I hear of a person is never required to have supervised visitation unless they were alcoholics, drug addicts, felons, etc.
Joe F: True, people who know me. But my son isn’t old enough to speak for me yet.
Well I do not actually have any records because I am not his legal father yet. So, I am not allowed access to his files. She was around. I watched my son in the evenings when I got off work until the next morning and dropped him off before work.

My 16 year old son was driving with 2 of his friends and they were all drinking beer. The police saw them driving erratically and found the beer when they pulled them over. My son had to pee really bad because he drank 3 beers. He asked to go to the bathroom when they were handcuffing him, but the said he had to wait till they put him in the holding cell at the police station. My son wet his pants in the back of the police car and soaked the seat. I’m mad that my son wet himself just because he wasn’t allowed to go to the bathroom. My son isn’t scheduled to be in court for his arrest because it wasn’t as bad as other alcohol-related incidents, but should I start a court case for my son wetting his pants because the police made him?

My friend is in her late 20′s she has 3 dui’s she has a parole violation. She is a bad person who only cares about her self. She has a major drinking problem too, her brother died from a drunk driver. She is currently dating a man who is pushing 40. He used to be an alcoholic he stoppted because he doesn’t want to lose his 10 year old son.

He is good and clean now he hates drinking and alcohol. My friend drinks behind his back. Because she is bored and she says needs to be bad once and a while. They live together the last time she got drunk. He told if she does it again it’s over. She said she won’t do it again but she has hit the bottle four times since then. She quit her job and is looking for a new one. So far she hasn’t been looking she just sitting around the house getting bored and wanting to drink. I told her to stop because he is a nice man. He is letting her live with him for free and he takes her out and everything. After all this she still drinks behind his back.

JP and I get along great but he drinks and I don’t want that ‘action/shyt’ around my son. Worse when he drinks he doesn’t get a hangover because he’s an alcoholic. Even though I care about him, am I wrong to just walk away? The pain won’t go away but when he’s at our place I just have a really bad feeling in my gut. Anyone????

I remember when I was in Kindergarten my mom literally had to pull me off the pole because I didn’t want to go to class because I was afraid of other child. It kind of effected my whole life because when I was in school I never mad any friends. I was teased & taunted all the way up to High School so I decided to drop out of high school when I was in the 10th grade plus I started a new relationship (9 years ago) with my now husband but he is currently incarcarated & I think he might be Bipolar. I was diagnosed with ADD in the 7th grade. 2 years ago I was diagnosed by a doctor (for Child Welfare Services) because I have a bad temper which caused me to lose my son plus the lifestyle we live that makes me think my husband might be bipolar (he smokes crystal meth, uncontrollably spending habbits, can never hold a job etc….) any way like I was saying they said I had Anxiety, Depression & Borderline Personality but do you think my Anxiety could be Social? Can someone help me please?

I have had custody of for nine years. I’m not an alcoholic nor a drug addict and I do take care of my child. Everything he is trying to say I can disprove but there is one thing I am unsure of. My boyfriend was convicted of armed robbery and breaking and entering in 2000 when he was 17 and is currently doing time for negligent homicide which also had no drugs involved and only .04 alcohol which is under the legal limit. He is a good man and would never harm me or my son. He made a mistake when he was a minor and suffered a very tragic accident which he is paying for now. So my question is, can that hold up in court? Can a judge take my son from me because of my boyfriends convictions?
The negligent homicide was in 2007 so it was 7 years after the first 2 convictions. He was on parole and didn’t get in trouble once.
“HEY THERE” I can disprove all the other stuff my ex is saying. My son loves my boyfriend and is actually mad at me for leaving him. I wouldn’t let anyone around my son who I thought could hurt him in anyway. it was months before he even met my son.

My son is 13 and his dad has never had an interest in him until here recently. The only reason he is showing interest now is because my son is old enough to sit down and play video games with him. That is exactly what his dad said to me when I asked. His dad is a total loser. He is an alcoholic. He is 30 and lives at home with his parents. His parents are pill heads and neither work. They sit at home on disability and pop pills all day and night and eat. They baby my son’s dad like he’s 2 again. I also have a child who is mixed (black and white) and when my son goes to his dad’s house, his dad teaches him racial slurs to use against my other son without saying the “n” word. I have tried explaining to my son what these words mean and he refuses to understand that and thinks it’s funny. His dad doesn’t work and sits and drinks beer and pops pills that his parents give him when they have extra ones. I am so fed up and don’t know what to do. There is no divorce (we were never married) decree saying that he has visitation rights. He has no rights. He pays child support when he gets his unemployment or when he actually works. He never does anything for my son. No Xmas, no birthday presents..nothing. My son only wants to go over there to play games on his dad’s computer. He throws it in my face when I tell him no he can’t go over there that he wants to see his daddy. His dad also has been trying to talk him into coming to live with him once he’s 14 so that he can claim him on taxes. His dad is a selfish convicted felon who only wants to stir up trouble for me. He should be ashamed b/c he’s never been there and I’ve raised our son all by myself and he only wants money. He complains about having to pay child support and has been to jail several times for not paying. He says I ruined his life by having our son and I am the root of all his problems. He bad mouths me to our son when he’s there. I don’t know what to do. His family is very vindictive and when I don’t let him come over they try and cause trouble for me. His dad’s mom has even went as far to call Family Children Services on me and lie. The case was dismissed b/c it wasn’t validated and was proven to be false. I don’t know what to do. It’s always a big fight with my son and I. I have tried talking to his dad about all this, but he just laughs and doesn’t see that it matters. What should I do???
I wish I could move. I am a single mother. My close family lives here too. My work is here. I am just about in tears over this and I’m so damn sick of all this. I wish I could go back in time and pick someone else to have had my child with, but I was young and so was his dad. I am the one who grew up and provided a good life for my kids and take care of them. If I don’t let him go, they will make crap up and cause me trouble. They have done it before and try to make me look bad. I don’t know what to do. I don’t have money for a lawyer.
Well, of course my child’s safety is my 1st priority. His father is an active alcoholic and drug addict. His father is an open racist(my son has a half black brother living in our home with us). His grandparents who live in the same home as his dad are also drug addicts. So you think I should just let my 13 year old son go there just b/c he wants to? No. My child does not need to be around that, even if it is at his dad’s house. Hell no.

He has since been returned to his Dad. For reasons I don’t understand. The State of Fl. has filed charges on me for abandonment. Which has also been dropped. My question here is that Fl. has these laws where both parents have certain things they got to do. Like he has to go to anger management, parenting classes, etc. I have to provide them with the history of our custody battle here in Ca. But what the problem for me is they want us both to enroll in a sustance abuse program. I don’t understand why I need to do that. He is the one they concluded was a alcoholic. I have NEVER been on drugs or been convicted of any drug related crimes. I am certainly no alcoholic either. We have 1 year to complete this program. He has a little longer for his other ones. If I don’t do this in the amount of time they gave, then I could possibly lose my Parental Rights. According to the court. So even if I don’t feel it’s right, my son is more important. So does anyone know the cost and how long it takes?
