Hi thanks for the reply, The issue I’ve got is he’s their dad, he wants to be involved and he’s still having good days, he maintains a job and pays his way and also we have good connections with his family, , until someone says he’s totally gone off the rails it isn’t my place to exclude him as far as I know, unless someone knows otherwise? I think it would be inappropriate and potentially more harmful for them to not spend any time with their dad at this point? If that’s what your suggesting? I’m not sure? My Thought was that as they’re growing older they will learn to see that everyone’s not the same some people are unreliable. I wouldn’t let them come to any unnecessary harm, but it is a natural part of life that not everyone is honest and not everyone does everything they say they will. From what you’re saying I think your situation is different as you have the partner who is an addict now in your lives who you can exclude from the kids lives and also the older ones dad who is also an addict. I appreciate your perspective and thanks for commenting I just think we have different lives and I’m trying to be realistic and making the best of the situation which I am not in full power to change.
