商品簡介
This is the story of two people in love, who packed up their lives and drove a thousand miles across Europe in a transit van, to the magical island of Venice, to start their new lives and dreams together and raise their baby girl there. They left behind everything they didn’t need. But they also brought something terrible with them: alcoholism.
In the Summer of 2019 my partner, the love of my life and the father of my child, fell into a catastrophic vortex of depression, alcoholism and self-destruction, which, unbeknownst to me, had been slowly bubbling and building for years. I was suddenly left alone with our baby, in a foreign country, renovating a house, paying all our family bills plus shouldering his enormous drink-related costs, working whenever I could with no childcare or help from anyone, and slowly losing my mind from shock, exhaustion and heartbreak. I didn’t have a clue what was going on, or how to cope. And I kept it entirely to myself.
Since then I’ve met and talked with many others who live, or have lived, with alcoholism or other substance abuse, whether a partner, a child or some other relative or friend, and the relief when they talk about it with someone who understands, is enormous. In telling my story here, and sharing what I learned from all those who helped me through it, I want to give that voice to anyone else going through it who also feels alone, confused, frightened, or just so damn tired they need a hug.
I don’t know how the story will end. None of us does. But all sides need a voice. This is mine.
