i guess you'll have to get a higher power to advise you on this.i see the that you are in the middle.you were right to go to court and rescue them kids.my advice would be to tell her how you feel..how the kids feel and that you want to see her to get her life together first.if there is any contact it should be on the phone where she needs to explain mommy needs to get her life together and they're not abandoned.any more contact should be earned by her and the father.its going to be a long road recovery is never overnite.generally you can tell the level of sincerity by the actions of an addict.the lies stop.they show up.they follow threw.they learn lessons and try doing things differant.im in recovery and will always be.these are the signs that let you know its active recovery.stay strong and vigalant.let your instincts guide you.i hope this helps you .im praying 4 you.heres a hug..:ghug3
