Hi so sorry you’re going though this, I have 3 boys also and my partners use of coke has took a downward spiral into addiction too. He’s not at home at the moment & im having no contact he’s not seeing the kids for a month as I feel we need space and im protecting myself hoping he realises what he’s doing & gets help. He’s back home with he’s mum, my sons are 12 6 & nearly 2. Ive told the 12 year old the truth about he’s struggles he’s overheard some arguments so had a idea what’s been going on he is very mature for he’s age and has been a great support to me helping me with he’s younger brothers im very early pregnant so tired so not great timing at all to be in this situation. My 5 year old says daddy is always drinking beers I’ve told him daddy is going away to get help to stop doing that because right now he’s choosing to do that than be with us and that’s not good ive told him he will see daddy in a month he’s took this quite well. It is a nightmare and you can’t quite believe it’s happening can you? Addiction can affect any person living any life it robs them and you of so much it’s so sad.. it’s nice to know where not alone so many people at going through this and that helps because it can feel very lonely can’t it.
