Taking care of bills, making decisions, raising the kids, and cleaning up after the addict is quickly going to take a toll on the other parent 4. Financing an addiction isn’t cheap. Additionally, the substance abuse problem is likely going to cause the individual to lose their job due to poor performance or attendance.
