Loneliness Support Group

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...

Married and alone

Just joined today out of sheer desperation and frustration. On the outside, my life seems perfect. Recently remarried, Mom to a beautiful teen daughter, surrounded by friends and family. On the inside, it's a very different story. My daughter is moody, disrespectful, and distant. My husband is equally moody, unromantic, unwilling to hear my pain and dismisses anything I say that he doesn't agree with. I feel tricked into a marriage that is NOTHING like what he promised me it would be. I secretly harbor fantasies of running away, changing my identity, and disappearing from the life I've grown to hate. I honestly don't think anyone would miss me at all. I'm sorry for being such a downer, my very first post in. I'm just at the end of my proverbial rope, so to speak. Maybe this is what marriage is supposed to feel like. Maybe this is all I deserve. I don't really know anymore.

if the marriage is not working out then head yourself and hubby to counseling...if lonely there are meetup groups that are all over the place and offer ways to meet people with your common interests....just join a few and see what events they have as get together meetups....it is a lot of fun....the daughter well she is a teen and she is distant because peer pressure is now the influencing force in her life...being rude means she might be in a place she too is unhappy or that could just be rebellion from parental influences....I am former teacher and know teens are tough ball of wax to deal with yet I do not have kids of my own....hugs

Coming from a teenage daughter herself, it sounds like your going through a lot and need a break. My mom sometimes plans a "refresher" weekend or mini romantic vacation with my dad. She always comes back feeling happy and fresh. I think everyone needs a little break once in a while.

I have a very similar relationship with my boyfriend, so I can kind of understand what you are going through. *hugs*

I think we all deserve happiness and it's possible to have a happy marriage and there's no reason why you don't deserve it. Start thinking you deserve it. If you love your husband and love your daughter, which I believe you do, start thinking what you can do for them, to make them happy. And do little things for yourself, make a list of little things that makes you feel happy, try to do it once a day. Maybe you can have a different and beautiful dress, maybe you can study something you like, try feeling better about yourself. You deserve it. Start believing this.

hello and welcome-perhaps finding things to (like hobbies and crafts) for you might help..also perhaps writing your husband a letter about how you feel-perhaps counseling

    I recently heard a great 2007 song the other day, "Falling Slowly" because it popped up in my newsfeed, accompanied by the sad news that the  male singer, Glen Hansard, just died in a motorcycle accident.  I learned that the song won an award and was featured in an indie movie called Once. I just watched it, and it's really good.  They made it in 3 weeks on a $100,000 budget. It's streaming on...
