As always, give them enough rope and they will hang themselves.
Now. Focus on your DD, and getting her through the horrible mind crap that comes w/dealing with an addict parent.
Hugs.
Thanks! Fortunately Kid has a very busy life with extracurricular activities she loves and making new friends in junior high. She's busy enough that I've instituted a Sasha-and-Kid "date" each week to make sure that at least once a week we are in the same place at the same time that is not in transit to or from somewhere, so we get some face time. I told Kid we don't have to talk about deep serious things, we can talk about shoes or music or food or emojis or whatever.
I'm very conscious that Kid is going to be an ACOA, through no fault of her own, and hoping to build in some resilience and support for her.
