Heather, I also had to not allow my addict spouse to talk to my two year old toddler. Every time he talked to him, my toddler would go through his "loss" routine, and it was extremely hard on my toddler.

However, I told my addict spouse this. I told him that it hurts his son way too much to talk to him and not have him in his life, and that until he was proven clean he couldn't be around him because of all the pain and agony that our son goes through with your addict behavior.

To my amazement, my addict spouse understood and replied, even though I want to talk to him, I don't want to hurt him any more than I already have. I am doing what it takes to become a part of his life again.

Well, talk is cheap and actions are what counts...so we'll see what happens. In the meantime my toddler does not have contact with his father, and it is for the best for him. The fact that he understood and put his toddler's needs above his without a controvery is a big step for an addict.

Good luck and God Bless
