You can only get so,high??

I hope she gets the help she needs.

Here again, we have another blight on society. She doesn't need help (she's probably been offered it and just "doesn't get it".) 32 years old......come on. Take those kids away from her while they still have a chance to belong to someone who really cares and they can forget a woman they once knew. As you can see (by this article), she doesn't.

Ppl like you are part of the problem you want to take the kids and create more orphans that get lost and abused by the system, you don't know what she's been through that made her want to escape her life. You just think "all she has to do is quit", its not that easy you can die from withdrawal most addicts need help and society doesn't want to help solve the problem because its full of ppl who know it all. All society does is create problems and perpetuate the problems that already exist.

Larry she's a lost cause.... the kids will grow up just like her, if they are not taken away. People like her don't change until she kills herself or even worse someone else.

I disagree, although you are right in most cases unfortunately but there are success stories out there. Most drug counselers are ex-addicts and they quit successfully but with help nobody does it on there own. I'm not saying to leave the kids in her care while she works it out but she should be given a chance to at least prove herself and maybe get them back. And as far as a "lost cause" I don't believe that ppl aren't disposable if they're broken we're too quick to throw them out with no thought at all like a person is no more than anything else in our lives when it breaks we just throw them away like anything else. Ok so if a person becomes a "lost cause" should we put them to death?

This person you speak of is my sister... And for the record, those are not her children. Just taking them to get something to eat cause their parents are probably in worse shape than her. I suppose. I haven't spoke to her recently, I live out of state. Yes she is lost... But not a lost cause. Our mother was killed in a hit and run as a pedestrian. We both died a little when she did. My sister just hasn't bounced back yet and may not. I will do my part and be there for her when she is ready to stop using. This person you bash and blame has a huge heart and always willing to help others, just doesn't know how to help herself. Every person plays a part in someone's life, in my life she is my only sister. I'm a first time mom to a one month old baby girl, the reason I'm awake at this time. Without a mother and an absent minded sister, so while you make accusations that she's disposable, remember she's someones family. I need her, and continue to have faith she'll come back .

No one has a perfect life, everyone has a story, but most people don't have precious cargo in the car while under the influence. Next time just order a pizza for delivery!!
