Maybe I am speaking out of turn here but........I have seen several times in this thread that "Cassie 'chose' drugs and booze over her child". If you are truly an addict you have a disease, and that is something that takes away your ability to 'chose'. So I actually think that if she did give her son away because she knew that while being in the midst of her disease that she COULD NOT affectly parent she was smarter than most who are drug addicts. If she has truly got clean of drug and booze then the fog has lifted. And speaking from experience once that fog has lifted you have a lot of regrets. But please never say that while she was in active addiction that she had a choice. Drugs and alcohol can suck you into a world that you would love to get out of but can't. That is why they call it a disease.
I can understand her wanting to reach out to her son after having some sobriety under her belt. If she has truly ever worked a 12 step program then part of her recovery might actually be to reach out to him. However knowing what she knows about her past she must then too accept the fact that he may want nothing to do with her.
Although I do not know if I would do this through the SOH.
Just my 2-cents for what they are worth.
Have a great day!!
