Hi Shaneal and Valerie
Thank you for sharing your stories which I find very sad to read. It is heart breaking to see a loved one’s life being ruined by addiction and I do feel for you both.
If it would help to talk to someone who would understand what you are dealing with please contact The Icarus Trust. We are a charity set up specially for people who are, like you, dealing with the impact of a family member’s addiction. If you get in touch you could speak to one of our experienced trained volunteers called family Friends which might help you.
You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org
Good luck to both of you.
