I agree the Holidays are hell with an addict around. It is better to not have them around, enjoy yourself and let them face their consequences. They shouldn't be rewarded for their addict behaviour. I know my son will not go through another bout of depression because of his father. I am keeping him away from him and I am already noticing a difference in my boy once again. He is five and this morning he told me that he was happy today and not angry. That right there is proof enough for me that I am doing the right thing. You should re-consider letting her see your daughter. A hair follicle drug test and rehab should be ordered by you since you are the parent. Until that happens I would keep her away.
Let me tell you this. My cousins girlfriend was using from 17-19 years old. Both of her parents were and are addicts. She lived with her mom and the dad would come over every so often. She told me the other day that she would have rather not seen him at all because the pain she had to deal with each time was horrific to her heart and mind. I think I agree with that because I see the pain my son goes through and i know the pain I go through too. I didn't see my sons pain until he started getting a little older. Now I can see it and have been able to see it for about one year now, maybe less. It affects them more than one can imagine.
Have a great Holiday without all the drama and pain. Pray that she feels lonely enough to get help and get clean for good. My cousins girlfriend said that is what works for most addicts. Shut them out. Hard to do but its what needs to happen. I know I have to in order to not be depressed.
Thanks for listening.
