My kids sometimes come home in anger. It's more because though their father isn't usually drinking around them, and I toss a big "usually", it's the mannerisms that go along with it. Parts of their visits are partially supervised as he might need a ride to the grocery store, sometimes stopping for lunch. They go watch a movie then I pick them up. My now teen sometimes is busy spending time with friends and cousins-that group of boys all go to the same middle school.
Hearing that it's your fault however, is suspect.
There's some great little books to read together. In time, she'll understand that living under the same roof as an addict is unhealthy.
