Feeling alone

gentleEast8898 August 25th, 2021

I've been fighting with my mother a lot recently, which is new for us. My father passed in March and my mother and I always got along great until then. Now, the extreme adjustments are making us essentially re-learn each other and there's new tension. She's also met a new man, not really meaning to, it just happened. She isn't trying to rush into moving on, it just so happens that this guy came along a few weeks ago and they are really clicking. So, we've had some tough talks about that. Ultimately, I am learning to be supportive, after expressing concerns. Besides, it's her decision.

But I'm here writing and sharing because I feel quite alone in this. Additionally, someone I love has been radio silent for two months, the summer has brought legal issues and very costly maintenance issues...so I'm just generally feeling quite low and alone. Thank you.

@gentleEast8898- why is it that problems come in packages. Not just one thing to deal with at a time. Letting you know that you are not alone. Thank you for sharing- we all need reminders that others are tackling issues too. Take care.

@ScoreKing Ah, the big question....Who knows why, but it sure does seem the case for most or all of us. I suppose the silver lining there is that we can all understand the feeling. Thank you very much for taking a few moments to encourage me, and I wish you great encouragement in your own journey as well.
