[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 728873, member: 1233"] SWOT has such amazing advice. Listen to her. Don't ever give your daughter a penny unless you pay it to the person giving the service and you see the service being done or the item being given to your daughter. Many times addicts want children because then they can get food stamps and other welfare type benefits. Many unscrupulous type businesses will give them a small percentage of the amount of the benefits in cash rather than the food or whatever. Then the addict gets high rather than the child getting fed. I know this happened to my own Niece for years. Her mother got food stamps and other benefits and my parents gave money to "keep bills paid" when half the time the money really went to booze or dealers. Don't help an addict keep a child. It won't be a good life for a child. The people an addict has around them are NOT the kind of people a child should have around. EVER. I did what I could to get Niece away from her mother, and then I had to detach from her and the situation. I had to deal with my own children. By the time she is an adult, she will probably want nothing to do with her mother. Niece has 2 older half brothers who literally would not speak with their mother if they were not guilted into it. Knowing how she treated them as children, I don't blame them. Don't help an addict get custody of a child. Ever. [/QUOTE]
