Something like that.
I honestly don't mean it in an ugly way at all. Personally, I think she's pretty much a lost cause, but having worked in prison ministry at one time and seen some amazing transformations, I'm never quite ready to consider a person hopeless. I just want to give this woman a different perspective (the one that most reasonable people have) in hopes that if she has a conscience at all, it will help. If it doesn't, she is coming very close to losing her kids for good. Perhaps she should, but she should have ample opportunity for an epiphany, as well as something more to think about. Opinions?
