+1 on finding a group (or several) right now. I have been to both, and for me, the best local one right now is Al Anon. The different meetings vary. Keep going 'til you find one that feels safe and helpful for you. LOTS of support there for you in ways you might not even realize you need right now.

Mr., you know something of the story of my folks. Don't know if I have ever shared here that My mom died first, and my dad, left behind, was the alcoholic. I know something of these struggles. PM me any time.
