Have Questions About Addiction? Ask an Addict!

Just found scringes and needles in my bathroom in a case on the floor. My daughter was over visiting her son. I have guardianship through the court. ( Not CPS.)

ordered supervised visits. No other stipulations

What should I do now?

Do  keep visitations the same. With the stipualtion she does not bring anything in my house. No Bags or purses.

Do I make her drug test?

Do I make her meet me at the park our get visition from social services. I dont believe she can afford that.

I also am concerned about my 31/2 year old grandson and how my decision will effect him. he loves her and asks everyday if she is coming over. 

Feeling heartbroken. if I deny visitation. I may not see my daughter at all. I have heard ex addicts say that family connection helped them quit.

Report her to the court.  Your grandson does not need to see her using.  Perhaps the court will order her into treatment.

Report her to the family services. That child could have found those syringes, and they are probably reused, and may have HIV, Hep C , or God knows what disease on them!
