    Hi Stacey,

    That is a very difficult and tough situation. It’s a good step that you’re able to talk about, and there are people who can try and help you. The Icarus Trust is a charity which provides a support and signposting service for families who struggle with addiction, as it clearly affects more than just the addict. Please get in touch with them, and you will be provided with a Family Friend who can support you. You can drop them an email on info@icarustrust.org or go to their website http://www.icaurstrust.org.

    I hope this provides the help and support you need.

    Hi Rachie,

    One of the best things you can probably do is speak to someone who has been in a similar situation before to help you. Talking about everything can make it all seem manageable, especially if you can relate to a situation. The Icarus Trust provides Family Friends who are available for you to speak to, and will try and find additional help for you and your situation. You can contact them on email info@icarustrust.org or go to their website http://www.icarustrust.org.

    I hope this is something

    Oh my god, that is horrific for a daughter to have to live through. Not knowing what’s happening with you Father… I can’t even begin to understand. I know your Father was getting help, but have you thought about some for yourself? Addiction, no matter what type or level of it, drastically affects the entire family and all are in need of support. There is somewhere you can go to. The Icarus Trust is listening and signposting charity who is here specifically to try and support families who are dealing with addictions. You can contact that on their website http://www.icarustrust.co.uk or email them directly via info@icarustrust.org.

    I hope this is of some help and you don’t get that dreaded phone call any time soon.
