Hi Sarah,

I am sorry that you are having such a difficult time as a result of your husband’s drinking. It clearly is making you feel ill and must be a very frightening feeling that you and your children may be at risk.

The police may have told you about the domestic violence team that you could contact if you need. You can call the National Domestic Violence Helpline, their number is 0808 2000 247 and it is free to call, open 24 hours a day, and calls are confidential.

Otherwise if you would like to talk with someone who would understand what you are going through please contact us at The Icarus Trust. We are a charity that provides support to people dealing with the addictive behaviour of a family member. One of our experienced trained people would be able to talk with you which you might find helpful.

the National Domestic Violence Helpline, as they will be best placed to give you advice on your situation and what to do next. Their number is 0808 2000 247 and it is free to call, open 24 hours a day, and calls are confidential.
