It’s funny how children pick up on it all and the affects it has. You must be an incredible mum as your children sound very well adjusted. My son is 12 and I try and shield him from the drugs side of things but he knows ‘dad’ goes awol and doesn’t come home. But it’s heartbreaking watching him confused and upset when my husband is gone alright he tries to put a smile on. Luckily my 2 year old doesn’t understand but I can see changes in his behaviour when his dad returns home.
Started my morning by demanding him to take a drugs test! He’s never done it in the house.. but this morning I woke up and had a gut feeling, went out to check the car and what appears to be tiny bits of coke was in the car and he just seemed off, also one of his cards was hidden in his draws with some white residue on. He’s passed the test so I’ve spent the rest of today trying to work out how he’s passed it. I know I look for things and ultra paranoid but it all points to cocaine use. I heard him to the test so he hasn’t used water or anything.
All will be revealed as either a debt will crop up or I’ll find something on his phone. Such a horrible way to live always playing detective!
