she was successful before. for about two years but had a relapse. I like intervention i think it's a really good show, you can almost always tell who is going to stay with the program and who isn't. but that show was kinda hard to watch with the kids and how it really affected them.

I saw it. I am a huge fan of Intervention, but this one really twisted me the wrong way. It broke my heart and infuriated me that she continued to do this to her children.

The only reason she was sober is because she was in jail for that long.... she had been sober for about a month (while in treatment) at the point in time that the show aired. I hope for her children's sake that she gets better and that the father follows through if she doesn't.

it pissed me off that the dad was saying i've got custody of the kids but i'm letting her stay here because of the intervention

Yeah I personally think children are better off not seeing the parents than seeing them in that kind of state all the time. Children look up to their parents and are led by example. Monkey see, monkey do. Not being able to see her kids could be a huge motivation for her as well to remain sober.

I watched it, and I feel so bad for the husband and the kids. I am glad she had to stay in jail for 3 weeks too. I hope she has learned her lesson.

Well the reason was because if not she will drive around all day while drunk or possibly make more of a scene. Yeah it's hard and sucks big time, but what would be worse? kinda lesser of two evils. so to speak.
