re: Pahl seeks custody of remaining child; full comment here

I have especially strong feelings about cases such as these, having been a meth addict myself. I am also a mother, and could not imagine combining those two lifestyles: my former tweeked-out, selfish, mind scrambled self, and how I am now- clean several years, comfortable with my day-to-day life, and wholly dedicated to my young son. The two just don't mix. Anyone who tries to tell you they can be a good parent while on meth or in very early recovery is either lying or sadly deluded. I've seen it! And in my opinion, anyone who uses while pregnant should be immediately imprisoned for the duration of their pregnancy, and either have the child taken away upon delivery, or be kept under extremely close supervision until deemed stable in her recovery (depending on the severity of the situation).
