Welcome Robin!  I am glad you found us.  It must be very hard to be going through all that.  It is pretty late so it might be a few hours before others respond to your post, but I am here now if you are still online.


Can you tell me what you mean by saying you are losing your family?  Who are you losing?  Where are they going?  Are they just not in contact with you? 


It can be hard when things change, but often they do.  Sometimes we have to accept that our loved ones do things that are unhealthy and damaging to themselves, to others, and to us.  Often the only thing we can do is to learn how to detach with love.  We have to learn that their problems, especially the ones with addiction, are something we did not cause, we cannot control, and we cannot cure. 


There is an article on detachment that is excellent.  It might be a great place for you to start reading.  You can find it here:  https://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/article-on-detachment.53639/
