I know for a fact that being a mother on meth has to be the most difficult obstacle to overcome! Then when DCFS comes and takes your children away only makes it 10 times worse! They don't help in what they say in giving you resources or support in being drug free!

It isn't about the meth user when they take the children away, it is about the children. And it always should be. Whats in the best intrest of the child comes before what makes it easier on the meth using parent!!! Children are the world's most precious resource.
