I didn't want my daughter raised with an addict!

I didn't want my baby to grow up with an addict but I also didn't want her to come from a broken home.  My husband and I both are children of divorce situations.  His parents divorced when he was 6 and his mother was a life long alcoholic and his father was in the military and stationed overseas for much of his childhood.  My parents divorced when I was 4 and a half years old and it was an ugly situation with a lot of anger so I didn't see much of my father and wasn't allowed to show affection to him without making my mother angry.  I dreamed of having a loving caring family to raise my daughter and didn't want her to have to stress or worry.  Like most parents I wanted what was best for her and for her to be able to have a carefree childhood full of love, fun and happiness.  During this time I had to tell my parents, his parents, family members, and friends because he was inpatient.   That is one of the things I (many others do too) struggled with; that he was the one using the drugs but because he was inpatient I had the responsibility of informing everyone what was going on.  It's hard to call parents and explain that you've married a drug addict or call his parents and let them know about their son.  He completed a 21 day inpatient treatment program and then we did follow up classes for about six weeks and he attended AA and NA classes.  He got a job teaching automotive classes at a college and really enjoyed it.  He was drug free, loving being a dad to his daughter from his first marriage who was 4 and our newborn daughter and we were finally living like the family I dreamed of all my life. 
I went back to work when our daughter was 6 months old and we were financially getting back on our feet.  I started to relax and we decided we should have another baby. He had been drug free almost two years and I couldn't have been happier.  I became pregnant when our first daughter was 20 months old.  We were excited to have a new baby.  Our two older girls went to big sister classes, we got the nursery ready and everyone was excited!
