Wow. How long was he clean for? There are options other than an attorney. IT's a headache,but worth it in the end. I would say this - let him take you to court for visitations when he is off of drugs. If you suspect, than you are probably right, plus she does not need someone in her life that doesn't have constant contact with her. It will mess her up. change your number if you have to. If he wants her bad enough and he is clean, he will take the steps to get her in his life. My cousin did that when he got clean and on his feet. That's when you know they are serious about having a relationship - they will put their pride down for the one's they love.
She should know that he has an illness, because at that age, just thinking he is too busy for her could do some damage.I'm living proof of damage. I would not want anyone to feel the way I have felt for so long because no one in my family talked to me and told me what was going on with my mom. She was drinking all the time and I was alone alot. Not that your daughter is alone alot, because she has you, but no one talked to me about it and just thought I would be fine. Years later I am dealing with the consequences to her actions and it is not an easy thing to deal with. The emotions are terrible. My opinion is that it should be talked about and dealt with now. She needs to keep her self esteem. School her on addiction, even if it's through professionals. It is worth it.
