    Hi Georgia,

    Thank you for sharing your story I’m sorry that you are going through the same anxieties with your husband that your dad must have done with your mum. That must be so difficult for you.

    Your husband is going to support groups and maybe talking through how you are feeling might help you. I work for a charity called The Icarus Trust that provides support for people who are dealing with the addictive behaviours of a family member. If you get in touch you could speak with one of our experienced trained people which might help you to make sense of what is happening and find a way forward.

    You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org

    Good luck. I hope you can find some help.

    Hi Mil1234,

    I’m so sad to read your post. What you are going through is very tough for anyone, let alone someone of your age. Though very painful at first, you might find it does get easier to talk with people about how you are feeling, and that might become helpful to you.

    You have been given some good advice on where to get help and, as well as those, you might try The Icarus Trust. We are a charity that supports people like you who are having to deal with a family member’s addiction. We have experienced, specialist people who you could talk with if you contact us. This is a free service.

    You can contact us on help@icarustrust.org or visit the website http://www.icarustrust.org

    I’m really hoping that youwill be able to get some help.

    All the very best and good luck.
