Hi AnnaLouise,
Thank you for sharing. I’m so sad to read your story and to see what a difficult time it has been for you and your family. It sounds like you are doing a brilliant job for your grandchildren. Thank goodness they have you to look after them.
If you would ever like to offload how you’re feeling, the charity I work for Icarus Trust has experienced trained volunteers who you could talk to. The charity is there to support people like yourself who are dealing with the impact of a loved one’s addiction. We offer a free service. Talking with those that understand is always good and it may help you to find a way ahead.
You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org
All the best with everything.
