@ronniewilliz153 I'm glad you're clean. I'm glad you're committed to your child. I mean every word of that absolutely sincerely. If you and I have nothing in common if you vote different from me if nothing else at all in the world we are alike, we agree that you're stand sober for the right reason and you're working hard to be a good parent.
I was raised by a single father, good on you for that.
NOW THAT SAID.
In the course of my work I routinely see children neglected, abused, abandoned and in so many ways targeted for the worst humanity has to offer, from the very people that brought them into this world.
I see people put their desires, their addictions, their politics, and a whole lot else in front of the welfare of people they force into being, and don't want to care for afterwards.
White folks do this, Latin folks do this, Black folks do this. Folks do this.
The system that is in place to do something about it suffers from a lack of funding, a lack of value, a lack of resources, and a lack of any kind of social commitment to making it kind of big deal it should be.
I wish you the very best, I really do. Addiction is a hard thing to struggle with and you're actually struggling with it and that speaks volumes about how much you must care for your child.
But if you're a recovering addict, you know plenty of people that aren't struggling and you know the kind of hell they can put their kids through. And that's only one kind of a neglect or abuse. There are so many more.
Regardless, I honestly wish you the very best.
