What a very sad story. I feel really sorry for what you have gone through but you are brave and strong and can get help for yourself.
Icarus Trust is a charity which supports families who like you have been affected by addiction. We have trained volunteers called ‘Family Friends’. These are people who have had experience of addiction in their own families. If you get in touch with the charity they will put you in touch with one of these. They will talk to you, listen and understand how you are feeling and be able to signpost you to any further help you may need. It does help to talk, especially when you know that they have had similar experiences to yourself, so hopefully you might give it a try.
You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org
I really hope that you find this helps you.
