Breaking Chains Quotes

“Is it healthy every few weeks or every few months that the addicted parent drop by to visit the kids with no consistency?? The answer is that it is not healthy. Then the parents leave and continue their life of drugs while the kids are left crying and wondering when they will see their parents again. The kids know that they won’t see them for awhile because that is the usual for them. The kids will be fine in their new life with you and then months later the addicted parent drops by and the kid is set into turmoil again. Who has to deal with that turmoil?? You do!!”
