I completely understand my husband is not my sons dad either and you are completely torn and even though you know that they have every right to say the stuff about your son, it still hurts and causes friction! I have been attending an online forum with Smart recovery on a Monday evening which is for families who are going through this, it does help a bit. I’m not a poem person but they shared a poem about a lighthouse which sums up the role that we as parents play , I find that reading this brings me a bit of comfort to stay strong, try , look after myself and be positive . They also give you practical advice on how to not ‘enable’ the addiction but mainly it’s about looking after you!
