Hi Catsmum
I had to do a double take on reading this, because it sounded so much like my family’s story. I’m the sibling of a coke and alcohol addict and Debc has it right by saying that it’s like living in hell. The constant worry is overwhelming. As a sibling I fear for what this is doing to my elderly parents’ health. The main thing to remember is that you can’t cure or control it and your first priority needs to be taking care of your own health, as does your husband. If you have other children then take it from me, they will appreciate seeing you looking after yourself and setting some boundaries with your son. Counselling has helped me to learn better boundaries and not feeling guilty for needing to step back when my own mental health was suffering
