My XH is still using cocaine, cannabis and drinking. Has done all his life with a short lived period of sobriety before we married.
Our DCs are 3 and 7. He didn't turn up to see them this weekend or last weekend as was in bed recovering.
I just don't know what I can do to limit the damage it's causing them. 3 year old already thinks daddy didn't come because he was naughty and kept saying I'll be good now mummy which is heartbreaking.
It's difficult to make a decision to go no contact as they love him and he loves them as much as he's capable. But I don't know what to do practically to help them? I try to remember to not mention when he's supposed to be seeing them so they don't wait for him to turn up and refuse to do anything else but often he promises them he will see them.
Just feeling a bit helpless to control/manage the situation...
