Hey love to all you lovely parents fighting a hard battle… I read all your comments and it made me think …
Thankfully my children are not drug addicts or alcoholic but my ex husband is and my children aswel as me witnessed a lot of abuse from him.
I was often drained energy totally stressed and anxiety was just out of the roof always worried sick about him and I fought this battle for 6 years ….
I couldn’t be a Normal mum to my kids because of the high level depression I suffered due to my ex husbands drug addiction..
cocaine and alcohol..
I would cover up for his behaviour and actions all the time but there came a time I had to put my foot down and put myself and my kids 1st so I got rid off him ..
best decision I ever made ..
Happier than ever but unfortunately that’s something you guys crnt do because it’s your child and you can’t break all ties and stop caring loving them ..
My advice to you all is sometimes you got to be cruel to be kind .. so therefore put your foot down tell you child to get professional help to put a stop to the addiction and explain to them what it’s doing to you all as a family and if your child still refuses to get help then show them the door and wait for miracles to happen …
Either way if they still going to continue using it then it won’t make any difference to them if they living with you or not but at least that way you don’t need to witness any of it no more and if they choose to finally get help then bingo the ultimatum has worked …
Good luck to you all … my heart goes out to you all.
Stay strong .x
