Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut

I began drug use at the age of 22, 1998, to prescription leading to heroin. After years of rehab, psychologists, therapists and Narcotics Anon, I was sober a year, use for week or two, back straight (my cycle) In 2003 I became pregnant after having 6 months sobriety. Told OBGYN, they did weekly tests for drugs.Gave birth to beautiful, healthy girl. Took her home on my own til she was 2 years old, when my mother lost her house and moved in with me. After my mom settled in I picked up again, admitted it , asked for help and went, again. Once out, My mom, myself and my daughter lived together till the time of my mom's death. DCF was involved, making sure that my mom was keeping her grandaughter safe over me. At the time of my moms death in January1998, I had 1 1/2 years, a great group of supporters in meetings, but found my family against me keeping her. I broke down and used whil my daughter was staying the weekend with his family. I had to admit to them that i relapsed, and my brother would not let me say goodbye, he just wanted me to go do whatever i felt was right. I lost all support of my family. Went to rehab once again, meetings, etc. Went to the probate judge who was overseeing my mothers property. I was investegated, I feel very wrongly, by DCF, Gave 3 hair samples (taken every 3 months), monthly urine tests (over 2 years), plus therapy up the kazoo over the first year, wanting to just visit her. That was finally allowed, at my brothers house ( who is angry with me & it shows the way they treat me). My visits are one 2 hour period every other week, with 1 15 minute call once a week. In May I asked my brother if we could visit more and call more, he wanted to see more proof, (which I gave him what my psychiatrist does monthly), I provided him, with recent urines, he wanted to speak with my sponser, but she would not, because it is anonymous. I have been collecting again signatures of meetings I attend. Gave this all to him in end of June and have had no response. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT CAN I DO TO GET HER BACK? I HAVE 2 3/4 YEARS OF SOBRIETY, AND THEY DON'T WANT ME TO LEAVE THEIR EAR. I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO HARM HER. WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT... I JUST WANT MORE & MORE TIME, AND THEN FOR HER TO DECIDE IF SHE WANTS TO COME BACK TO ME, BECAUSE I WANT HER WITH ALL MY HEART, AND WILL DO WHATS NECESSARY.PLEASE CONTACT ME (860) 316-0150
