The Importance of Protecting Yourself in a Divorce

I've seen cases where there was a divorce sparked because one parent had an addiction, whether it was alcohol or some kind of drug addiction. And the other parent for an understandable reason was trying to protect the children from seeing any more of that from the from the addicted parent. But then the something amazing happened. The parent who is suffering from the addiction is able to conquer their addiction and make huge changes in their lives and become part of the children's lives again. So I would just caution the overprotective parent in this situation because people can save themselves. If you if you overreact, you can wind up losing custody, which could happen in this case.
