I am an addict in recovery with 19 months clean time. My ex-husband divorced me and got sole custody of my daughter three years ago while I was in jail for drug related offenses. (She will be 9 yrs old in March 2007) He has blocked every attempt at contact. Recently, the court has ordered visitation. I the first visitation was supervised by my daughter's court appointed Guardian Ad Litem, and after a few minutes of hesitancy, it was like we had never been apart. The second time was unsupervised at my elder daughter's house. When he dropped her off, she acted scared to be left with me until he left. Then she was affectionate, loving, and we had a great time together. She was also extremely happy to see her siblings, whom he has cut her off from also. When it was time for him to pick her up, she again acted fearful of us, and refused to take with her the gifts we had given her. Now he has filed with the court to move to Arizona. Just getting visitation has already drained me financially.
