"I think the children are relatively shielded from what is going on at the moment. I very much try never to argue with my partner when they are around, and because she spends so much time in bed during the day most of her drinking happens when they are asleep. '
children are more knowledgable about whats going on around them than what theyre given credit for. they see and hear things and can put 1 and 1 together pretty good.
