You see, she isn't capable of being a responsible parent right now. And she likely won't be for a while. So, by trying to make her look like she is to the courts, you could potentially put her children in a bad situation. Her visits with the kids NEED to be supervised.
I agree with StillWaters Zappy. I am a recovering mother. I went to six weeks inpatient while I was active duty, and the after treatment program was very closely monitored by the addiction specialist and my chain of command.
You are not equipped to handle this, and if she makes it short term to make it "look good" then she is doing a disservice to herself and her children.
Relapse will follow almost as sure as the sun comes up in the morning.
