I noticed in the article that it seemed to focus on cocaine & opiate addiction. Not sure about cocaine but with opiates it numbs the addict so they are unable to feel... wonder if it is connected to this. The kids sense the emotional withdrawal of the parent even tho the parent tries to act like they feel. It would have to be hard thinking that your parent doesnt love you. Wouldnt matter to them that it is just that the addict CAN'T feel.
