Oct 2012

but addiction is a very powerful thing. The odds against her are probably not very good right now.

But at least Kayden is safe now. I truly hope his mom gets the help she needs and that she is clean for an extended length of time before she gets her son back. There are times when it's really NOT in the best interest of the child to be with the parent.

Anyway, thank you for the update, and for helping his grandmother out with some of the things he needs. I hope the cycle of addiction/abuse has been stopped here with your kindness and compassion.
