[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 80163, member: 3527"] I guess I am torn on this, because in some ways, I want to keep giving bio mom her chances to see her daughter, but at the same time, if she continues to not show up (this is not the first time this has happened, it was beginning to become a problem BEFORE bio mom got into trouble again and went back to jail and then back to rehab). When do you say "enough is enough" and stop putting your child through this. I mean, honestly, this would be hard enough on a easy child, but with everythign else on top, a difficult child will take these kinds of things harder. Besides that, difficult child WANTS to spend time with her mom, but I don't know how much more we can put her through the disappointment of her not showing up. At least if we say NO MORE, then we don't have to worry about her getting her hopes up, and then them being dashed. She technically does not HAVE any visitation rights, so my husband and I DO NOT have to allow her visitation, but if we do, the order says that they must be supervised completely by me or a court-appointed supervisor (usually a social worker that would volunteer to come). I am trying to take it easy on her, I mean, she DID just come home from rehab yesterday, and maybe taking care of obligations at home may be more of a priority to her than trying to fulfill obligations outside the home, but, THATS HER KID!!! Who would NOT drop everything to go see their kid if they were separated for 3 months?!?!?!?!? [/QUOTE]
