Welcome to SR. I hope you find comfort here.
Yes. Most of us can understand your pain. The all encompassing pain that radiates through us when our heart is broken is worse than any pain caused by a physical injury. And it takes a long time for that pain to heal.
Many of us have lost love ones to addiction. Many of us are in some stage of dealing with that pain and loss or fear of it. And some of us are recovering from that pain and loss and are able to find joy and serenity in the wake of that loss.
I hope you stick around. Post. Rant. Cry. Read. Learn. And heal.
You are not alone.
gentle hugs
