Donna,
I went through the same thing as you and my children were 17 (son) and 14 (daughter). When I finally made the decision to tell them, they replied that they had a feeling that something was wrong with their dad. They could sense he was on something but didn't know what. They were very hurt, disappointed and angry. When my ex started coming in and out of the home, trying to get clean, etc. they would watch everything he did and called him on his stuff constantly. My son became very protective of me and both children lost all trust in him. They later told me that had I not let them know what was happening, they would have been hurt because I was hiding this from them.
It hit me hard to see them going through this and I was powerless except for that I loved, nurtured and cared for them constantly and was always right there with them. We also started going to church and was around godly men with godly foundations. My kids and I stuck closely together and went through this insanity protecting each other. God has blessed me with these awesome children and I am so grateful. Tey are fine now and my ex has cleaned up well but my children are so much wiser to things now. I will pray for your peace and guidance.
God Be with you,
Hulalea
