In a recent court hearing, a parent seeking to maintain a relationship with their children expressed a commitment to sobriety and personal stability. The individual confirmed they have not consumed alcohol since their children were removed from their care in January and reported a negative drug test in May. They are actively participating in Alcoholics Anonymous, attending approximately 15 meetings per month despite a demanding work schedule.

The court discussed the parent's financial capability to support themselves and their children, with the parent affirming their ability to do so. They currently reside with their grandmother, which they believe provides a stable environment for their children. The parent requested not to have their parental rights terminated, instead asking to be designated as a possessory conservator, allowing them to remain involved in their children's lives while working towards regaining full custody.

The court acknowledged the ongoing nature of the case and the challenges faced by the parent, emphasizing the need for stability over a longer period. The parent recognized the difficulties of the situation, expressing a desire to be a positive role model and maintain a bond with their children. The hearing highlighted the complexities of family dynamics and the importance of ongoing support and rehabilitation in custody cases.
