I feel the confidence now to be able to share my experience of being a child of an alcoholic
Mum, your battle with alcoholism was a storm that tested me each day.
Like many families with addiction, there was constant covering up to make things look ‘respectable’ and keep the secret.
I am the adult child of an alcoholic who I lost to her addiction in 2006.
Addiction doesn’t just affect the addict. Addiction is a family illness.
For as far back as I can remember, I had a lingering feeling something was terribly wrong.
Before I even knew what alcoholism was, I understood it was the cause of conflict in our house.
I spent days thinking that if I did not exist, it would make her better.
It’s just over a week after I ran the London Marathon.
