My husband has a cocaine addiction only fuelled by alcohol. He doesn’t drink every day but when he does he accesses cocaine & goes on a bender for 24 hours. This has happened twice in the last 3 weeks. He’s been using cocaine recreationally for 20 years. It has caused problems over the last 3 years . I use it a occasionally, I can take it or leave it.
How do I explain addiction to our 8 year old daughter?

Hi @Rixy one of my best friends who experienced the addiction fo a parent said she knew what was going on and really just wanted to know that it wasn’t her fault. Have you had any conversations with her on the topic yet?
