Story

A long kiss goodbye...
On the 16th January 2015, we sadly lost our beloved Mum.

Our Mum was the most beautiful person inside and out. Her strength of character always shone through yet she still fell victim to a disease called 'alcoholism', and as a result so did we.

As adult children of an alcoholic parent we want to help other children who face this daily battle. To us it was fight for survival,  desperately trying to save our mum's life, yet left with the feeling of being scared and helpless. Our love alone was never enough.

"Sometimes it's better to keep silent than to tell others what you feel. Because it hurts badly when you come to know that they can hear you, but cannot understand."

In loving memory of the Mum who made her daughters who they are today.
'Believe in yourself'

About the charity

1 in 5 children in the UK are affected by their parents' alcohol problems. Seventy percent of these children will try to hide the problem from the outside world. They are often frightened and isolated, with no one to turn to for help. Nacoa responds by providing information, advice and support through its free, confidential telephone and email helpline (0800 3583456) (helpline@nacoa.org.uk)
