The drama continues. Baby David is still hospitalized, probably for another 3 weeks, reducing slowly his methadone dose. "Mommy Dearest" is in the "rehab", where she is supposed to be on "blackout" for 30 days (no phone calls, no text messaging, no contact with "outside" world). She is transported to the hospital 2x/week to spend time with David.
She called my son from 3 different phones the night after she got there. She was at the hospital today, allegedly visiting her son, but text messaging my son virtually non-stop. (How do you hold and feed, and love a baby while you're on the phone texting?)
I am livid (and I know it's not about me at all). One of her messages mentions having to fill out a bunch of stupid papers for a bunch of dumb a**es at the rehab. It is painfully obvious to me she is not interested in the program or the benefits it offers. It is obvious she isn't really concerned about HER son, but more concerned about keeping tabs on MY son. She has completely lost custody of her daughter, now in another state, for at least a year (and the 5 year old asks about my son and her little brother, but seldom her mother).
QUESTION: Would YOU contact the rehab and report her for abusing the phone privileges and breaking the rules?

She is giving my son a bad time about being reported for the phone calls. An "anonymous woman" called and reported her; I am thankful someone addressed the issue and am sick of hearing people get upset when they are called out for screwing up (I'm supposed to say "thank you" when someone addresses MY messes).
I talked with the attorney about the phone problem and her recommendation (as all of yours) was to rat her out. Thank you again for your care. You think you live a sheltered life, but caring for your daughter is a huge responsibility; my admiration and respect for you and your wife is huge.

Yes, I would report her. Part of me just out of meanness and the rest out of concern. She won’t take her own steps, somebody has to take them for her………..

Sad situation. Seems her addiction is more powerful than the love for her children. If she really, really wanted to be a loving caring mother she would do whatever it takes to be that person. Obviously she doesn't want to.There is only so much family and friends can do. I'm not sure she is even worthy of visiting her son. Where are her parents in all of this ? Yes, alert the rehab, but in doing so you are wasting your time.

She actually won't be visiting our baby in a day or so. My son filed a restraining order on behalf of his son against her. The judge signed it.
You are right, PL; she hasn't shown much interest in anything or anyone other than herself. :(
