My husband is going into detox tomorrow morning. How or should I tell my 6 year-old daughter? He never goes away for business (he's in construction) so I can't tell her that. We're not driving her, his sponsor is, so she won't see the hospital. But she's going to know something's up. We're a really close family and this is tough.
Can a 6 year-old understand alcoholism? I hate to think she has to right now. Any suggestions would be helpful.
EDIT: Sorry, I was tired when I wrote this...it's detox, not rehab. BIG difference I know. I'm sorry for the confusion.
