My daughter is away at school. She knows about her father and his addiction. However, it is still her father and she loves him very much. The chaos at home she doesn't witness on a daily basis because she is away. I have an open communication with my kids. I am always truthful. I try to be very delicate in what and how I express the truth. Sometimes I feel I can work on this skill a little bit. :>) When I talked to my daughter I said as long as daddy is working an active recovery program and working on himself we can begin to work on us as a couple. Now since he is unwilling to get help and recognize his addiction there can be no us. Any advice on how to talk and explain this to his daughter without completely upsetting her? I am trying to tred lightly as to not affect her grades and success at school.
