My father is a drug addict and has been all my life. I have always forgiven him and helped him out of all of his situations $$. He is still married to my mother who is an enabler and supports him. They now live with my sister and her hubby and they are supporting him and helping my mother support him. He gets clean and then relapses, right now he is sober.
I have recently broken all ties with him. I can not do this anymore. This last time I told him NO MORE!! and he cheated on my mom (he still hangs out with the tramp!)!! She is totally nieve! he told me very horrible things, that hurt me and my husband very deeply, things that can never be forgiven all because we would not support him finacially. So now I feel that he is trying to creap back into my life through my mom. I just ignore their calls,emails. He is Sending her here trying to spend time with my kids and asking me if she can take them with her.....Any way is it wrong to keep them out of my and my kids life? Got any advice for me??

I think you did the right thing. If you let him into your life, nothing will change, it will always be that way. Maybe someday other family members will do the same and your father will finally stay sober.
Your parents cannot be trusted with your children. Your dad could be high while he's with them and something could happen. You probably would never be able to forgive yourself. I know I couldn't if it were me.
Hang in there. Your doing the right thing.
