Should I let my ex see our daughter?
Question by Realist: Should I let my ex see our daughter?
I am a single father of a two year old girl. My ex and I split because she wouldn’t quit using drugs. At first it was marijuana then she started getting real skinny. I caught her shooting up and since she had custody, I called DHS and she admitted she had been injecting crystal meth.
I now have custody and she’s been ordered to rehab. She now says she is going. mind you I got custody about 10 months ago. She still has not completed it, and has told me that she had been injecting heroin for the last few months prior to getting to rehab. I asked her if she could pass a drug test and she told me the only thing in her system is marijuana, but has quit that now.
My attorney told me not to let her see our daughter without professional supervision. She tries to guilt trip me in to seeing her, and to an extent it’s working. I told my ex that I would help her pay for the visit, but she had to schedule. She never has.
I want my daughter to know her mother. What should I do?

I would not let my child anywhere near a person on drugs. But you do what is best for you.
