    • About Me

      I find myself a single mother of a 15 year old son and 17 year old daughter. Both high school students. Husband left me for another woman and I am heartbroken. The situation is very close to home and her children go to school with our son and they play sports together. Our children will not spend time with their father and he will not support us in any way. Not even what is court ordered. We were in a long term marriage. Just feel alone, scared and starting over completely at 50. Needed to reach out to find help and found this website as I never needed or asked for help before. Don't know if I have come to the right place or not.

    • Little Love

      From solongbye October 22

      I know it's scary when you are financially on your own, scary and pissy. I spend so much time fretting about it, we both just want life to be fair and it obviously isn't. Vent to me, I can appreciate it and enjoy the really good vents with the cuss words.

      I will never be nice, he doesn't deserve it.

      From solongbye October 22

      You have a happy face but you don't write in your journals anymore. How am I supposed to know what's going on?;) So are you too busy dating young men to be here? Please tell me yes.

      All I ever wanted in life was to be that stay at home mother and wife and was so fortunate to be able to do so. I went to college but never finished. Worked and then after I married and had our first child I was able to stay at home with the help of my parents. They believed in giving inheritance before they died. It was great. Our marriage was by no means perfect but we had a great life. He left. It has been a nightmare ever since. I truly did not know things really happened this way.

      Treatments

      Family Therapy Not Working
      I am the only one that continues counseling. Children and ex husband do not think they need it. Everyone of us needs help.
      Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
      Have to forgive. May never forget but forgiveness is a must.
      Pets Working / Worked
      Love my animals, could not be the least bit happy without them!
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I go just to hear an unbiased opinion. Does it help? I really do not know. I am still sad, I am still unsure of myself, I am still scared and I am still not enjoying life.
      Reading Not Working
      I can not concentrate enough. I have several.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      If it were not for my family and friends I would not have made it this far. Everyone tells me how strong I am yet I feel so weak. I feel unglued yet I have such wonderful and loving friends. They have to be sick of me by now. They plug along with me every day but I truly ask nothing from them except they are there to be a listening ear. I am also there for them too. They are a distraction but have had to listen to me cry for one solid year now and it is time to stop feeling this way.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
