I am a dad with two kids by my ex. I have had custody of them for over 5 years now and she has only recently gotten visitation overnights in the last year after supervision by her parents and she had to remain clean off drugs and alcohol. She also in the last 5 years has self harmed, had numerous partners , and heavy drinking and drugs. She certainly has mental health problems and has a police record over 900 pages long. I found out that over the last 4 visits she was drunk every time, she stayed up late blasting music and partying with my kids in the house, kicked her boyfriend out and had another male show up 10 minutes later to stay the night. The next morning my 13 year old had to kick the new guy out as my ex was too messed up to do it. Then to top it all off I found out that this past weekend when I denied her visitation due to this awful behaviour she went and did cocaine with some random guy and her oldest son had to go and pick her up from a hotel to "save her". Thoughts?
