Just what benefit do you think the children would have at this point in seeing their alcoholic father, the same one that I just described above, who couldn't feed them or even stay awake to watch them?
Maybe I am making justifications for him, but since this is the first time anything like this has happened and he has been seeing them three days a week for two months now it seems a bit rash to cut off all visitation. I think for the last six months things have started to spiral downhill and I don't really know what to expect from him one day to the next. I feel like I am having to constantly make adjustments for his deteriorating behavior, but right now (today) I think they do benefit from seeing the man. I guess I just need to figure out a safe way for him to still see them. It is also really an issue I take personally because my father was a crack addict when I was growing up, but despite that since he always showed us love I would never wanted him out of my life. I want my kids to have a father in whatever capacity that is possible, but I also understand safety comes first.
