she needs to be a good mother and not choose booze and bars over her kid like she has previously done. She loves her D, but she certainly hasn't shown that the last year lying to her face about going to IC when in fact she was going to see the OM. That is what bothers me the most, lying to a 3-year-old every week when my D would ask where she was going and she said to an appointment (IC). She wasn't.

If she fails--e.g., is physical abusive or suicidal or leaves your D3 alone or is convicted of a felony--there are recourses such as emergency mental evaluations, temporary custody, and/or child protective services.
Between "D-" to "A+" it's up to her. You control your grade. If your partner never takes your kids to the doctor, dentist, or ensures they do their school projects you can do all those during your custody.
Many single parents do exactly that!
I get wanting to support/encourage her improvements.
