Getting rid of the kids is mostly a factor of external social pressures, assuming one makes up one's mind to get rid of them (one way or another). Heroin, on the other hand, is massively rewarding to the addict, and becomes an all-consuming obsession that has shown to break even the hardest-willed person.*
It would be interesting to compare rates of 'broken' families, outright orphans, foster children ... and that of heroin addiction. I would dare say heroin is the harder dependency.
*And yes, I think there are plenty of unloving, loveless parents out there (in general) to borrow a term.
