Rose was taken into care as her mum struggled with alcohol dependence. Here, she charts her family’s drinking and the struggles this caused her.
My mum was falling out of taxis for all the neighbours to see... Eventually, I was taken into foster care.
I have volunteered helping dependent drinkers at a drop-in centre. I’m also a community champion for Alcohol Change UK now, as I want to warn people of the dangers of heavy alcohol consumption.
My daughter has inspired my brighter future and to keep going.
