Dear Emily
I am so sorry to hear about your mother’s struggle with addiction and the effect it is having on you and your life. I wonder if it would help you to speak to someone who has the experience of what you are going through.
I work with a charity called The Icarus Trust that was set up to support families and friends of addicts. We have experienced and trained volunteers called Family Friends who you could talk to if you wanted to. It is a free service.
If you are interested, you can contact us by email on help@icarustrust.org or you can visit our website http://www.icarustrust.org
Do make sure that you also take care of yourself.
Kind regards
Charlotte
