My family of 5 is currently torn apart due to drug addiction and an overzealous DHS/CPS system. My husband and myself relapsed and have been using drugs again for the last couple years. Our addiction among other factors beyond our control led our family to become homeless about a year and a half ago which is when we placed our three children with family about a half an hour away from where we lived. Once our children were away from us my husband and my addictions grew more out of control and CPS stepped in and took temporary custody away from us and granted my family guardianship over them with the plan of reunification after we could show the judge that we were clean. We have been struggling for a year now to get clean because it's incredibly difficult to do so when your on the streets...everybody (almost) who lives on the streets or in these tiny homes (which is in reality not a tiny home at all, but a 8x8 insulated box with electricity which I'm grateful to be in considering the time of year though for sure) use drugs and they are readily available all over at all times, which makes it very difficult to abstain from using, especially when in a state of heart brokenness and traumatization. We are going into residential treatment though in just a few days so as to show the judge and our kids that we are serious and will do whatever it takes to get our family and health back!;I just pray and would ask for prayers and agreement in prayer that this will be enough evidence for our court date on the 18th of this month, to prevent the judge from going forward with changing our plan from reunification towards adoption of our children out, which is what my attorney informs me is probably going to happen. Please pray for my family to be reunified and all of our wounds from my husband's and my childhoods to be healed so that we wouldn't even want to self medicated with drugs anymore, and also for my children's hearts to be healed from the traumas they have endured through all of this as well as for healing of relationships in our extended family and my brother and his wife who have our kids to be healed and blessed for all that they have done to help in this whole situation too. I know with faith and God all things are possible and I know his word says I am an overcommer and so I know we will be successful on our journey to sobriety, in. Jesus name! Thank you so much for reading all of this and for any help and prayers you are led to for us.
Sincerely,
Rachele
