When children ask about an absent parent's addiction

My eight-year-old asks me every night why daddy left and I keep making up different stories because I cannot bear to tell him his father chose drugs over us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The parent struggles between protecting their child's innocence and honoring their need for truth about abandonment.
