I would be cautious with your emotions--

Certainly being cordial, friendly and helpful is a good thing

I just don't trust she will stick with her growth, only because of the poor success rate we generally see in MLC,
and she is in love with a man who will probably impair her growth because stopping drugs for a moment may be easy But the success rate for complete lifetime recovery for drugs/alcohol is also very low-

I would be curious to see if she continuously follows through in therapy-
or a 12 step program
that may be a good indicator
because doing this work on your own will be impossible-in my opinion

If she seems to be growing in a positive way that is great, but she is still with OM-
tough choice for you-

Could you accept her friendship, so you can keep a good eye on her situation especially for the kids-
as you move forward with your life
