Emotional Effects on child of parent addicted to cocaine?

My boyfriend is addicted to cocaine, he genuinely wants to stop but is struggling. He had a relapse two nights ago and as promised, I kicked him out.





I am not going to live with his addiction with my child, but I do want him to get better.


To help him with his cravings, I am going to write him a letter as if it was from our one year old about how his choices are hurting her.





ie. She will think it is her fault that her dad gets high.





I am trying to research the effects, does anyone have suggestions?





Are there children of addicts out there?





Please remember, this question is not, is he a loser, or should I leave him so please keep your negative comments to yourself, I really dont need that **** right now.Emotional Effects on child of parent addicted to cocaine?
If your husband really wants to quit he can but it will be very difficult as you know. You should also get help for yourself to learn to deal with his addiction. NA has programs for the families of drug addicts like AA as for families of alcoholics. I'm not sure that a letter from your daughter will work but I think it can't hurt. My daughter was age 3 when my husband was in rehab and he didn't want to be a father enough that it mattered to him. But your husband seems to be in a better frame of mind than my husband I hope that you and your husband have a better result. I'll keep you in my thoughts.Emotional Effects on child of parent addicted to cocaine?
The addiction can greatly effect you child if he does not get help TODAY. He needs to do it for himelf, not you or the little one. He needs to want it. Has he done rehab before?? I know you love him, but it may be better for your child if he isn't there. Don't give up hope.
