To be honest lox your daughter is going to grow up for the forseeable future without a mother being a role model. The reason why she isn't a role model doesn't really matter to her. A two year old doesn't have degrees of hurt.

If her mother isn't at her first nativity play watching her dressed up as an angel and fluffing her lines, your daughter will either be upset or not be upset. She doesn't need at this stage to know why her mother isn't there. It wouldn't make sense to her.

I think you are still thinking too much, although understandably,about the effect all this will have on your ex. So you report her to her employer and either:

a) She is dismissed and hates you forever. Falls into a life of crime to fund her habit and has supervised contact with your daughter.

b) She is offered help at work. The shock of her facing her demons with her employers gives her the push to accept help. She slowly recovers and has a relationship with your daughter, on your terms.

c) She continues to do a passable job at work and the health service being the way it is, they are grateful she turns up and turn a blind eye to her unexplained decrease in performance. She gets paid, scores and has supervised contact with your daughter.

Can you think of another scenario? Are you still clinging onto the hope she will wake up and feel the same love for your daughter that you do and never touch the gear again? Granted it could happen. Is it likely in the near future?

By asking how prostitution could help the situation sounds as though you put more faith in her finding an alternative way to fund the habit than break it. And you know her best.

Out of interest and don't answer if you don't want to, how did you get custody if you weren't on the birth certificate. I never knew fathers could force their paternity to be aknowledged, but in situations such as yours it is reassuring to know they can.
