I don't have any legal advice, but I'd ask your attorney if you are obligated to allow your daughter to visit and turn the child's emotions into such a horrid state. I so know how heartbreaking it is to have her "lose" her mother time after time.

We had just gone a week past the last trauma of my 22 month old's last "loss" of his father and we were at the grocery store. I was getting them out of the car cart that I use to put both boys into the van so we could go home when some child in the parking lot cried out, "Daddy! Daddy!" I looked at my 22 month old and watched him look around with a very excited look on his face very softly saying, "Daddy?"

That night he woke up with a bang screaming out for his Daddy. I waited a couple minutes to see if he would fall back to sleep, but it just got worse. So I went and got him. I held him tightly in my arms while he cried and screamed out for Daddy for the next hour or so, and all I could do is cry with him, tell him how sorry I was and that I wish I could make it better, but I can't.

After he finally settled down, he just stared off into space for about another 45 minutes before he allowed me to put him back to bed.

Now we go through the days softly calling out for Daddy several times a day and looking out the window for him to come home. It has been over a week, and he is still looking.

I thank God that this poor child will not remember the heartache he has been put through, and will not allow it to continue to an age where he will remember it. My youngest has no clue what the fuss is all about, and he is the lucky one!

There are so many homes broken from addicts, and the government should be doing more to support the family that is still in tact and trying to cope with the turmoil the addict leaves behind.
