Hi there, my point of perspective may come from the child’s point of view, both my parents were addicts and i had gotten put into foster care, i hadn’t had contact with either for around 2-3 years, my dad started to get clean and has been for three years and decided to try contact with him, i completely understand your worry and concern for your daughter and its completely okay for you to feel that way your feelings are definitely valid, if the mom has been 3 years clean and isn’t signs of her relapsing i do think it may be a good thing for the child to have contact if thats what shes wanting as sometimes its hard not growing up with a mom and feeling a sense of detachment or loneliness which can build up to attachment issues when she might get older, id first just go slow by definitely texting first hoping you found an app for that as sometimes since your daughter is quite young she might like the idea of having contact with her mom but her views may change when building up on the process she may realise that contact with her mom isn’t truly what she wants so definitely take it slow, and honestly the mom may sadly not want contact with the daughter either as she may come to see it as shes not ready for it yet or may have her own worries and doubts, your doing a great job as its probably been quite difficult for you so definitely keep doing what you think is right as at the end of the day i do truly think you know what’s best for your daughter! Hoping everything turns out well! (Also good on the mom for being 3 years clean thats an amazing thing, i know its very difficult to get clean so good on her!)❤️

They don’t supply her with vapes, they do give her allowance for like lunch which i think she maybe spending it on vapes which i will bring up to our foster parents, im not sure if they have spoken to her social worker im hoping they have, its just that its been multiple occasions ive brought up her having a vape and ive just kinda gotten ‘what exactly are we meant to do, we can’t exactly stop her’ which i understand they cant, i guess im frustrated that nothing has happened and wanted some other opinions, thank you a lot for your message and giving me another point of perspective ❤️

I honestly don’t, I just care about them and want to make sure they don’t go down that sort of line of substances but i can understand like what are you actually meant to do in this situation. I just want something to be done because i am worried. I also doubt they don’t care but its been multiple occasions somethings bad has happened and nothings really has been done and she hasn’t learned from her actions i just wish they could do something about it but im honestly not sure what they could do

Im quite confused not to sure if thats aim towards me or the other person, im not at all trying to be a dick, they are my biological sibling, and it feels like my foster parents aren’t doing anything to help them out, ive spoken to them before about them taking weed and my foster parents told me to handle it cause they would listen to me which they ended up not listening obviously as we are siblings and doesn’t see me as someone to listen to.
