Hi tired mum

Welcome to the forum. I just wanted you to know that you’re not alone. Everyone on this forum has been affected by drugs and alcohol, whether it be parents, relatives and also some advice and support from people in recovery .

I am in a different situation as it’s my adult son who has addictions.

If you read the other threads, there are others in your situation, who have younger children.

The forum itself has advice and support, but sometimes it’s comforting to talk to others in similar situations.

First and foremost, look after yourself and your children, it’s such an evil thing addiction, but if you’re armed with lots of support and advice, it will give you strength to get through it.

Take care, stay strong and look after yourself.

Thank you for sharing your story and hopefully you will feel not so alone through talking with people on this forum.

It must be very hard for you to cope with your children’s feelings while protecting them from the situation with their dad.
