Hmmmmmm this is a tough one for Christianity.

With regard to Shelly's statement of him having rights, you need to remember that you are still married to Spencer and the divorce isn't final yet. Shelly was never married to her addict.

Personally, if I were in your shoes, I would get a restraining order. I would flat out tell the judge that he is a current meth user and abuser and is emotionally harming your entire family at this moment, and that the physical harm has not happened yet. Whether true or not I would state that I was afraid of what this man might do because of his meth use as meth is known to cause dangerous and possibly violent mood swings.

You are not the user or the addict. Never be afraid to flat out state that he is a meth addict. It is not your shame to bare but it is useful information to get others on the same page you are on. Most people have no clue what meth does, and will assume a drug user is dangerous. Those that know what meth can do KNOW how it can be dangerous in the blink of an eye.

The emotional abuse of a young child is considered just as bad as physical violence.

I know it hurts to think you are withholding your son's father from him, but remember....he is an addict, and you are withholding your son from an addict.

Don't let Spencer guilt you! He should have all the guilt. He is the addict. Take out the father factor as we all know someone that is not in recovery thinks only of themselves....would you allow your son around an addict?
