I'm The Mom Of An Addict ~ The Feeling Of Isolation

When you're a parent of an addict the feeling of being isolated is a real thing. But why?! Why do we feel like we can't talk about it?! We're dealing with a lot of trauma stemming from our child's addiction and society has made it to where we're not supposed to talk about it due to the fear of being retaliated against by some that don't even have a clue what goes on in the day to day life of an addict's parents. The fear, the hurt, the anger, the sadness, the loneliness, all the emotions that we go through every day can be overwhelming and stressful. Then add the negativity from people that have never lived in this hell and, well, it can make life even more painful. None of us should EVER feel isolated or lonely in this! This is a HUGE epidemic around the world and there are more of us than I could've ever imagined!! There is strength in numbers! We just have to come together and be a community of strength, love and support and it's beyond time we do just that.
