It Sounds Worse Than It Is

You know my unexplained fascination with the whole Jodie Sweetin divorce. I just can't get enough. Last night I was reading all the reports on various websites. Most of them said something like Jodie loses custody of her child which of course is wrong. The rest basically said she has to be supervised when she visits her daughter. That is the part that is a little misleading. Normally a supervised visit is something that happens when a parent has some issue which needs to be watched. Want to know a celebrity couple like that? Charlie and Denise. So, when Charlie wants to see the children he needs to do so with someone supervising which means present during the entire visit. In many cases the supervisor is someone hired by the parent who has been approved by the court.

So, when I first read the headline I thought Cody or Codeine or whatever his name is had won custody and Jodie could only see their daughter with a supervisor present. That is when I said, "wow she must have really relapsed." Then if you read what the judge said, you realize that nothing has really changed at all.

Jodie has to see her daughter at her parent's house or in front of her parents. Ummm. Jodie lives at her parent's house so that first condition isn't actually going to pose a problem. The only thing that is different is that if she goes out of the house with the daughter she needs to have a parent with her. Jodie has no money so of course that is great for her because now if she goes out, chances are the parent will pick up the tab. It is a win/win.

Cody says Jodie relapsed and has been drinking and alleges meth use. Jodie's lawyer said Jodie had a couple glasses of wine over dinner and immediately went to AA because she felt guilty.

I think the judge thought both parents were messed up and ordered them both to have drug tests before the next hearing.
