So very depressed

I am so sad and depressed. Just to sum it up for you...in the past year, I almost lost my mother. Our house was forclosed on. I lost my job before that, due to taking care of my mother. Fired by a new boss that didn't know me. I was on vacation the whole time. Fired on the first day i would not have been paid for. I was out for three weeks. I have had to move 14 hrs. away to live with my mother. My boyfriend of 12 years can't come here. I have been looking for a job, turned down two, and now have gotten a job (where my mother lives) and my boyfriend can't come here, so we are forced to have to break up. I was recently offered a job that would have allowed us to be together, but it didn't pay much money. I think deep down, I am taking this opportunity to start over. I love him so much, but my life with him has been crazy. He has cheated many times. I have been hurt over and over, but love him so much. He has always been so wonderful to my kids and me. I think he has some sexual addiction, but would never admit it. I know what anyone reading this would say, but no matter what has happened, I miss him, and I am terribly sad. It's just hard thinking about how alone I'm going to be. How I will miss him being there for me. He was my rock. No matter what he ever did, I know without a doubt that he loves me. He has begged me to not take this job, but I feel I have to.

" Thank you for your comment. I believe you are right, but it is so hard to start over at 48, especially when you didn't plan to. "

" Thanks again. I've accepted the job and start on Monday. Yay. I haven't worked since Dec. of last year. I've never been out of work for this long in many years. I have been in bed about the whole time. It will be nice to actually interact with other people, instead of always commnicating on the computer. I'm not complaining about the communicating online, but I need to actually see someone when I'm talking to them once in a while. lol Being able to come to this site tho has been my saving grace these past 10 mos.

" I was in a relationship with a man for just about 8 years. He was a good man, but wasn't able to give me what I needed. I was miserable and it seemed everyone but me knew we shouldn't be together. It didn't make it hurt less when we broke up and I moved away. As awful as our relationship got, it took me many months not to miss him every day and cry myself to sleep. Eventually, going back to school at 30 for something I loved and finding new things to focus on, helped me to get over him and to realize how wrong we were for each other - and I found someone else who is so much more right for me. Sometimes, you don't know how wrong a fit is until you find something that fits better.

It sounds like you've been so much, and kudos to you for making it through. I hope the move is a positive change in your life. Wishing you new happiness, new friends, and a good life. "

" Thank you so much. I just take each day as it comes. It was so much easier this past week with starting my new job. I will be moving into my own place this week, and look forward to what God has in store for me. I know this has all been his plan. It's amazing how he works things out in our lives. Best of luck to you also. "
