I am headed to court on a "reintegration" strategy with my children. After years of approaching the courts from many vantage points, exhausting my net worth, depleting my hope and sense of self and pushing myself further into self hatred that fuelled my addiction, I feel hope.
It is a therapeutic intervention in the most simple sense. A request, that despite addiction issues have been at play, that a child deserves the right to know its birth parent. A child should be allowed to choose what type of relationship to have with the parent that has suffered from addiction. Because this parent is and will always be a part of him or her.
The Courts, having been lobbied by leading lawyers and therapists, have finally decided it is time to build bridges in families as opposed to tearing them apart.
More to follow....
Stay positive.
