This is "Dad". Because of Dad's warm heart and desire to never see another mother struggle as his daughter has, Lifeline Recovery was born. Dad is a man of many of his own hardships since childhood but has always been able to use those situations to his advantage. His resourceful and quick witted nature has elevated him to the skies, but has now begun a new venture, grounding himself within a revolution!

This is "Em", and "Ma". The lights of Dad's life. Em is the recovering addict, with strong support of Dad and Ma. Like Dad, Ma shares the burden of Em's losing battle with CPS, and also bears the worry of a sibling who is still struggling to recover, and is out of the country. Ma's infectious persona and positivity make her the driving force behind the family, motivating everyone to keep going without ever losing hope.
What Happened?
Why Are We Doing This?
Hey! It's Emily here, and these <------------ are my babies. I lost them to family members after just 9 months of fighting with CPS, because I was unable to change the way my brain worked after being an addict for 16 years, in the small window they allowed me. (They said 15 months at first, but that's just it, when you're dealing with CPS, the rules are allowed to change at their discretion to accomplish their end, not yours.)
My family has since cut all ties with me, after promising if I stayed clean for a year I could see them. They didn't think I could do it. That's where the empty promise was born. I am told they still cry for me, and God knows I still yearn for them.
Stopping drugs totally sucks when it's the only way you know how to live. Do not think though, that for one second, CPS cares even a tiny bit about what turmoil this is putting you in. Not only have you been traumatized by the separation from your babies, but now you've got to rewire everything inside of you to even be considered a viable option for placement of your own children.
It's a messed up world we live in. I hate it. I am met with a fair amount of rage and despair every morning I wake up and every night before I go to sleep, then several times throughout the day because I NEVER stop thinking about my babies. Don't let this be you. If you'll allow me to help, maybe it won't be. We are here to offer you the very things that might have helped me to keep my children if I had the same.
