What an amazing story!
Continue to advocate, and be that role model. I am a social worker and I worked with addicts, dual diagnoses, and now work with developmental disabilities and being able to work with addicts made me understand the addiction more. People need to stop being so judge mental and realize that there is an underlying issue of why people become addicts. My marriage unfortunately ended because he wouldn-t get sober but he is now and has been for 3 years. We do have a child and he did it for her but ultimately he did it for himself. I let him know constantly and give him praise for being sober. I-ve been married to an addict so I know the course of being on the opposite side but being a social worker opened my eyes to a new level of working with addicts.

I love that-s she doesn-t hide anything from her kids. Kids are smart and they find things out, it-s always best to tell them anything important in an age appropriate way to help them understand when they eventually find things out. It-s a lot better than them being totally ignorant, that leaves kids more vulnerable to being manipulated (because they don-t understand) and hurt. The more honest and open you can be the better.

Been following this beauty for a few months and have a similar story to her and she doesn't know how much she has helped me in the last few months of following her with my life all around. Such an angel walking among us teaching us and guiding us. ---

If she wasn-t pretty she would have actually had to do this in her own, you know she is in this position only because of a male she was or is with

Five years in prison when what she really needed was medical care and someone to help her with her addiction.
