[quote=Anonymous]Family member lost custody of her kids in the divorce.  She was an alcoholic and the cops had been involved several times when the mom was supposed to be in charge of the kids.   During separation dad tried to let her show she could be responsible and share custody but myself and other family had to intervene several times.   Even with plenty of evidence and the kids being old enough to provide some testimony to what happened when mom was in charge, it still wasn't an easy thing for him to get total custody.

This was....5ish years ago.  She's been sober for 2 years now and has slowly mended her relationship with her youngest.   Oldest remembers more and their relationship is slower to mend.   Dad, IMO, did the best he could.   Got everyone therapy, let kids still have contact with mom's side of family, didn't talk bad about mom (that I know of) but also was honest when kids asked questions.

I'm sure there are cases of moms losing custody because dads and judges are jerks.  But in the only case I know of, it was definitely the right decision.   [/quote]
