Hi Lisa Jane,
I’m really sorry to hear what a horrible situation you are having to deal with.
You are definitely not the only one going through this and it sounds like you could do with some support for yourself.
The Icarus Trust is a charity who support people who are having to cope with addiction in their family. We have trained volunteers called ‘Family Friends’. If you contact us we would put you in touch with one of these who would be able to talk to you and may be able to help because they have also experienced similar situations. You are so right when you say that its good to be able to let out how you are feeling. They can also signpost you to other help that’s out there.
You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org
This is a free service and I really hope that you will contact us.
Good luck with everything.
