Question by concerned1: How can i tell my ten year old daughter that im a drug addict going into a rehab without damaging her?
Im a single mom with a ten year old daughter. I am a drug addict soon to be going into a 90 day inpatient treatment center and she will be going with me. She is at an age, that in my opinion ,shes to old not to question this but to young to find out her mommy is a drug addict. It will be very soon that I have to sit her down and explain where we’ll be going and i dont know how to, without it damaging her. And, at the same time I want to be fully prepared for the questions she’ll have.
