We also spoke about his "role" in his daughters recovery, how he supports himself and his family during the challenging time, and the hope he has for the future.Please bare in mind that this episode is honest therefore some listeners may find it upsetting. Please take care and be compassionate with yourself.Finally, if you are listening to this episode as a parent or carer, hold on in there. You are amazing and thank you for your support. It may not feel it now, but your loved one will be forever grateful for the support you provide.
