It’s been almost two weeks since my husband moved out. The kids are starting to show some wear. The littlest tonight was crying, missing Dad.
“I’m sorry, Dad,” he cried.
“Why are sorry?,” I asked. “What are you sorry for?”
“I’m sorry I made him move into the (halfway house).”
“Oh, honey! You did not make him move there.”
“You mean Daddy’s not mad at me?”
What is this doing to these kids? How do I explain addiction and recovery and negative consequences to a 7 year old? Or to the older kids, for that matter?
