My daughters mother was on heroin when she was carrying.
As soon as she had the baby i took her and left to the other side of the state.
I took her in a court of law. Me male, baby born 1987.
The court had not one problem giving me full custody, because of her mother on heroin.
She told everyone right in the hospital before the baby was born. Wow.
I ran fast and far. Now i have a great daughter. Yes the drugs did not do her good.
But i took her away from that life style...
You're pregnant and still using? Sheesh.... I really don't want to sound harsh, but what makes you think that addicts that are frequently incarcerated are going to be able to provide a stable environment for a child? What makes you think you can do that when the baby arrives and is an addict itself?
There are so many things you NEED to do right now, and I agree with the above poster mckee.... 2 users cannot get clean together. You NEED to be back in treatment and you need to do everything you can to provide for this child.... Addicts are horrible parents... I'm sorry that sounds harsh, but its a simple fact.
If you were ever in a program you know you can't stay with him. Two users will never get clean together. Get back into treatment! But this time listen. You KNOW you have to change all friends that you used with and your husband ia one. Sorry it may not be what you want but that's to bad and you know this is the truth.
This may sound harsh but stop it and thnk of the child! That is an innocent life dependant on YOU! You NEED to protect him/her! Look forward to the happiness the little life will bring to you! It's time to think about the bigger picture.. As the other person said, you may have him/her taken off you when it's born! Take control NOW and be the mother your little boy/girl NEEDS you to be. You can turn this around but you need to do it NOW! You just wait and see how much better you'll feel! X
I think you need to get back in to a program. You are carrying a life right now that needs to be protected. I'm sorry to say this but, it does'nt matter if the drugs make you feel better, It all has to do with this baby and it's health. Can I ask why you were trying to get pregnant while you and your husband were taking drugs? I understand that you're looking for help by coming here. Have you had any testing to see if the baby is alright? From what I understand, if you test positive for drugs when the baby is born it may be taken away from you. My opinion is to get treatment right away. Like right now.
