Good news
You'd never know it from my sad music choices today, but I'm over-the-moon happy with the progress in my neighbor's custody case. Dad seems to be throwing in the towel, and not in angry withdrawal either, but with an apparently sincere desire to get himself right and repair his relationship with his daughter. It's always possible he'll really get sober. I think it's a good sign that he's not making extravagant promises about it, but is getting help.

This is good news, but it's not news I trust.
Alcoholism is tough, and it's permanent. Alcoholics can get their addiction under control, but it's hard. Caring about his kids will help, though.

It would be a fine thing if it turned out to be to the good of everyone; but it was still worth doing for the sake of the one.
Excellent news!

Something to be thankful for indeed. Good work.
Keep your eye on the prize.
This is wonderful.
Dad may or may not kick his habit, but the grand-daughter should be safe with grandma while he tries (if he does). At least he knows the door is open. In the meantime grand-daughter understands that she doesn't have to live with him, or even talk to him on the phone if he's not sober. Mostly why this is happening, though, is that I could pay the legal bills longer than he could, and I was absolutely determined. If it also means he hits the proverbial rock bottom and seeks change, so much the better.
