"What is an addiction?"This is a difficult question even for adults to fully understand and answer. Imagine being the child of an addict, confused as to why your mom is acting so differently.Addie is a young girl facing this problem. If she can't trust her mom, who can she trust? Should she tell someone about mom's strange behaviors? Does her mom even love her anymore? Scared, angry, and feeling unloved, she reaches out to her favorite teacher for help, but in Addie's eyes, this only made things worse. Addie's Mom Isn't Home Anymore is the first of Addie's four-part journey to answer this question, told through her own eyes and from her perspective. Addie's story is one of courage, trust, and learning to overcome fear to help someone you love, and is designed to help guide parents, guardians, and professionals through the process of educating children about addiction.Author Notes can be found in the back of this book to further assist adults in helping children to understand the disease of addiction.

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2019Verified Purchase
A well-written example of the affects of a parents addiction on their child and the disruptive pattern the child goes through trying to cope with the parents situation. Parents have to think more of the devastating consequences on their own lives and the lives of their loved ones when beginning to lose control to addiction of any kind. "Addie's Mom" spells it out from the beginning on the feelings and frustration from the eyes of the child ……… When do we see more?
