Hi Lauren
I’m so sorry to hear what a very hard time you are having. Sadly you are not alone in how you are feeling but there is help for people like yourself. I work for a charity called The Icarus Trust which supports the friends and families of alcohol and drug users because we know how very hard this can be.
We offer a free service called ‘Family Friends’ who are trained volunteers and have lots of experience of talking to people who, like yourself, are affected by a loved ones alcohol or drug use. They would understand what you are feeling and maybe it would help you to be talk things through without feeling you are being judged. Talking is good and it may help you to find the way ahead.
You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org
You have been such a good support to your dad and I hope now that you can get some much deserved support for yourself. Good luck!
