I am 72 year old retired teacher. Had much pain and depression all my life. Three married children, oldest two are rude, disrespectful and greedy. Appear unbalanced to me. I see be living the rest of my life with no relatives except my husband. Feel frighten and alone. I am a Christian who reads Bible daily but does not go to church.

Hello Comforter
I would also like to welcome you here. I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling frightened and alone, is your husband able to support you at all? I am glad that you posted here, there are lots of parents experiencing similar situations to you who can offer you support x
