I like Brad's advice LOL
Seriously Maia hugs. Addicts are always victims, that's part of their 'thing' that gives them permission to use. This is the same whether their vice is Alcohol, Prescription, or street substances.
As for what to do, I'm lost here. If it were me, I'd tell him part of being a parent is to support your kids and have him start coughing up some $$. Then I'd do phone calls only, and see where it goes. Prepare your kids for him to disappear again, though.
No firsthand experience, other than the addict part.
Hang in
