Hi Drainedmum I feel your pain, I actually thought I was reading my story. (I shared my story on the drugs and alcohol page the other day). Hang on on in there you are not alone, there are so many of us out there going through the same thing. Like you I have withdrawn from friends and colleagues, I can’t bear to hear how well and normal their kids are. I’m not normally like that as I love to hear about their families but I’m finding it hard to give false smiles. I stood in the shower and screamed the other day but nothing came out, I broke my heart. This forum is a godsend but I hope we all receive a miracle one day. Stay strong my friend x
