Loneliness Support Group

Super lonely anymore

I feel so alone these days :( I never had a big family (just my "mother" and sister) and the only time I had a big circle of friends were when I was growing up through high school. I had to raise my son alone 20 yrs ago because his dad was a jerk, now 20 yrs later I have an almost 2 yr old I'm raising alone; not by choice, his papa was killed 5 months ago :( The "friends" I had when all this happened have disappeared so I don't really have no one to turn to and I'm feeling like just throwing in the towel on this thing called my "life". I know I'm supposed to not feel alone as I have our baby, however I feel like such a loser since my oldest turned out to be a jerk and I don't want to go through that again! So why not just throw in the towel on this thing called my "life."

Life begins when we admit that we can't do it alone.

I have got to meet a few interesting people through http://meetup.com and I feel that I'm beginning to live once more, as opposed to merely existing.

There is a widows and widowers group on Daily Strength you might get support there. Maybe Parent without Partners or a support group in your area for mothers of young children. Maybe seeing a counselor to talk to would help. Hope things improve.

Thank you Desigol1979 but we don't even have a group here where I live.

Thank you Edgar but where I live there's no parents without partners chapter. I have a counselor but her office wasn't kid friendly and I don't really have anyone to watch my baby. I'll try the widow/widowers group.

was this actually your son or the baby of you dear son who died? I do not understand....his dad died says to me that your son died and your raising grandchild by self but maybe I am wrong and you had a late life fling that gave you a baby #2?

Bill and for anyone else that doesn't understand I have a 20 year old son and a 20 month old son; it was my husband and my child that lost his dad.

    ((I tried to post this in one of my journals...but DS kept giving me an error message)))Decided to venture to Detroit. I rarely get to this side of the state since my father was murdered on the east side about 41 years ago. My mom and I rarely went to this side, but I recall she visited the Sommset (www.thesomersetcollection.com/) mall with one of her friends a few years ago. She talked about the...
