How To Impress The Guardian Ad Litem Part V: Drug Testing

In a custody/visitation dispute, if one parent is accused of abusing illegal drugs, then both parents are required to be tested.  Since W.'s long-term drug use is one of my grounds for supervised visitation, the court system has ordered that we both submit to a 90-day hair follicle test. 

Drug testing is a real possibility in any case involving children.  To be frank, this part freakin' sucks.  I said goodbye to $60 and a small chunk of my hair, and I wasn't doing drugs in the first place! 

So Part V of How To Impress a Guardian Ad Litem: Drugs are bad.

  1. Not that any of this is funny but this post made me laugh; drugs are bad. That pretty much sums it up.

  2. I'm with Alyssa. That sucks that you had to pay $60 for a drug test when he's the one with the drug issue, but i love the "Drugs Are Bad" at the end. I may need to just make that my new motto whenever the topic of drugs comes up.

  3. Hey, we gotta have a little comic relief in all of this BS. Does anyone remember Mr. Mackey from South Park? "Drugs are bad, mmkay?"
