[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 700582, member: 1233"] This is a tough situation. Others have given great advice. Please remember that this is at least as tough on your other children as it is on you and your husband. The other kids also need help to cope with this. They need you to be honest about everything, and they need more help than you can provide. Alateen may be very helpful for them. It is for children with a family member who is an addict/alcoholic. It runs on the 12 steps but is adjusted for kids. I don't know if Narcanon has a similar program, but most Alateen programs don't care if the addict is an alcoholic or is addicted to something else. Therapy may also help your kids. Here is a link to their website: [URL]http://al-anon.org/for-alateen[/URL] I am NOT saying that you are neglecting your other kids. I am just saying that it can be easy for the other kids to get lost in the chaos, and we need to remember that they are affected also. [/QUOTE]
