Re: visition/ custody

You should tell a 4-year-old nothing. His mother did not just make bad choices; she was addicted to something which made it difficult or impossible to properly care for her son. THe best that you can do is be available. When your sister is truly in control of her addiction (not the other way around), and the courts have good reason to believe this, she may obtain less restrictive visitation.
