How long should one b clean and sober before you would trust your children alone with them?
I am a father with drug and drinking problems how long would you require me to be sober before you would leave our children with me? I am violent and neglectfull but ONLY when DRUNK!! If I promised to be sober around a newborn for the 2 hours I have him would you trust me or would you want that time supervised?

i would never take a risk as this one because once an alcoholic always remains one.

Sorry, but the visit would have to be supervised. You didn't say anything about seeking help for your addiction, but you did at least admit to being a dangerous drunk and that's a step in the right direction. Your new baby should be reason enough for you to get help now so you can be a father and more importantly a father that can be trusted. This is your chance to start a new life. Go to an AA meeting...just try it, you don't have to say a word if you don't want to. Do the right thing for your new child. Good Luck.

Sorry dear I would need you to be supervised visits. You your self know what a hold alcohol has on a person. I am pleased that you are sober but are you on a program and for me to trust you you would need to be at least a year, I would feel more confident if you were in control of your life for 365 and the best of luck , and keep it working

definitely supervised/ if you are an alcoholic what is to stop you from drinking with the kids around, i personally would not be willing to chance it. as for sobering up. id say if you had been sober for at the absolute least a year then i would THINK about it, no guarantees

Definitely supervised visitation only. Good luck on becoming clean and sober for all times. You can do it! Your son is worth it, and he needs you in his life. Prayer helps - I have been clean and sober for 10 years now.

i would want you to have been clean and sober for a year before i would consider leaving children in your care. Especially since you are not just say neglectful, but a violent drunk.

never. i wouldn't take the chance of my baby being hurt. if you really lover your baby you would become sober for the rest of your life. you can be arrested and loose your wife and your baby forever for being vilolent. i've seen it happen so many times.
