Question

I had a severe alcohol problem, received 2 dwis one with child endangerment, didn't learn my lesson. CPS took my son while I was on probation. I had to comply with cps and my probation officer and it got out of hand, I was in another city and had no transportation to get where i needed to be, i struggled for months to get my son home which i finally did but violated my probation throughout all of it. I have been sober for 2 years and my life is completely different, I never thought I would be living so good and the bond with my son is unbelievable. I couldn't imagine him being away from me again, my heart breaks thinking of it and it consumes my every waking day. He is my everything...but I have this hanging over my shoulders and have a hard time with it all not knowing what to do. I would do whatever it takes to stay a mother to my child with no separations again. I understand I made my own bed, but opened my eyes to what's important and gave up drinking so I could be a mom and wife. My good friends are amazed by my changes and praise me all the time on my parenting. I am a different person who has a bad past who needs help getting it in control. I believe honesty gets you more than you think but am i a threat to society or would a judge consider my change and offer me my life back with my family? I went to counseling, parenting classes all of the above so my son could come home, he did thank god. I just wasn't able to do both that and probation. I have such strong emotions being away from my son and husband and understand a state jail felony is served day to day no early release...what am i looking at here....please help

Answer 1

From a lawyer.  I have seen people with more problems than you get their kids back.  Save up your money and get a good lawyer who quickly understands you and your case.  Shop around and negotiate a lower fee.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what your question is.

If i were you i'd keep in mind that most problems and bad times are temporary.  That happiness is a perspective not always a set of circumstances.  You should try to make the best of what you have.. from where you are.  Choose to be happy.. Stay away from drugs and booze.  Make yourself strong and independent.. ie try to get a decent job and get your life in order.  I dont know what the deal is with your husband.. but you have to accept whatever his decision is and move on with your life.. with him or with out him.  most of the people in this country spend time away from their kids thru divorce etc.. your not the only one out there.  Life does go on..   If you step in c**p that's in the path of life.. just wipe off your shoes and move on.  If your a non custodial parent.. then spend visitation time with your child doing things that will be memorable and educational to them.  zoo.. museums.. movie.. make the time quality time.  and show your kid your happy and you love them.  Meanwhile build yourself a new life.. tomorrows a new day.. it's your choice where to go.

good luck.

Stop rambling and ask a question to where we can understand it!

Answer 5

Good for you. I really don't know. It depends on your situation, really. I know someone who was a drug dealer for years and ended up getting 6 months of probation (after he gave everything up). Almost a clean record.
