It has always really choked me when here to read the part about using all the counseling, and friends and family.
Because some people really don't have any supportive friends or family.
And I was one.
So if you are somebody who has NO support ... . write me !
nona i have a lot of sympathy for your situation. when my marriage exploded i was faced with how socially isolated i was without it. i too read comments here about how people can lean on their family and their many friends and i wince. i have no sibs, no children, no aunts or uncles, and one parent who isn't in a position to do much, and what she does usually unhelpful. i can count friends on the fingers of one hand, and they mostly live in another city. i do have cousins and they've all come through big but only two live closeby (i went to another country to spend new year's with others).
and while cyberspace isn't real life, this board helps immeasurably. it's important to keep in mind, even if you're not in immediate touch with them, that
there are people who really know. don't forget that, and keep posting!
