Story - hang in there. Focus on you and the wonderful blessing of your baby boy. I told my six year old when he punched me and told me he hated me b/c I wont let daddy live with us anymore that sometimes mom has to make decisions to keep us healthy that are really hard and confusing for him. I used the example that it's like when he hates the dr. for giving him a needle. The Dr. has to give him a needle to keep him healthy but he hates the dr. anyway. Mom is making decisions to keep us healthy because daddy is trapped by a horrible disease called addiction. There are some really great videos on Betty for you tube - I think Cynical posted them about talking to children about addiction. I'm so glad I saw these videos before I had to talk to my boys. Be strong and keep healthy. The addict is not happy, you are the one who gets to experience the joy of your son every day.
