Thank you Icarus Trust, I think I have always been the strong one in the family but I do have my bad days; thank you for letting me know that you’re there if I need to contact you.
Damaged it’s really hard isn’t it? if they died of a normal death or illness you wouldn’t have a problem, you’d be upset but would be at peace, whereas now you probably have tonnes of questions you wish you could ask them and maybe anger towards them? I know I have anyway. What’s worse for me is that unfortunately when my Dad was sober he knew he had a problem, he even tried to get help but they said he had to be sober to get treatment and he just couldn’t stay sober for more than a day. I don’t think I will ever understand how he could leave his life behind: his daughters, his family and his granddaughter 🙁
