Hi Landsurfer
Thanks for sharing your story. You are doing an incredible job bringing up your grandchildren while coping with all the emotion and worry around your daughter’s addiction.
I wonder whether you might be interested in some support for yourselves. I work for The Icarus Trust, a charity that provides support to people that are affected by a family member’s addiction. Maybe talking with one of our experienced people, who would understand what you are dealing with, would help you.
You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org
Good luck with everything.
Well done Danman.
Keep strong.
