Hi, Steve,
Al-Anon is the best resource I know of. Here is a link to its Netherlands site: Al-Anon Netherlands

Hi Steve - welcome to SR, sorry for the pain that's brought you here. Many of us here at SR know the pain you're going through - you're not alone.
It does look like there are English-speaking Al Anon meetings in the Netherlands, but for some strange reason, my browser won't let me go there to see the listings (it keeps warning me about malware on the site). If you use the Google translate option on the main Al Anon page for the Netherlands, you should see a link for the English speaking meetings at the bottom of the page. There should be a listing of English speaking meetings by day & by town (although again, I'm just going by what Google tells me since I can't get to the site).
If you have trouble finding an in-person meeting in English, there are always online meetings you can go to for Al Anon. There's also Smart Recovery, which has online meetings for friends & family of A's on Monday evenings at 9 EST (US)...they don't have a presence in Amsterdam from what I can see, but they do have a presence in the UK, so you may be able to find online meetings through the UK site that wouldn't have you getting up in the wee hours of the morning to "attend."
Coming to SR to reach out for help & support is a fantastic first step in YOUR recovery. Keep seeking help and keep reaching out, and remember to take care of you. Sending you strength, hope, and hugs.
