I am new here. I have been on anti- depressants for 20 years. During that time, I have been to counseling. It did seem to help. Thee have been many huge obstacles that I have overcome, and am thankful that I was able to do that. I have been divorced twice. My last husband took all of my retirement money so I basically now live on my social security. Backtrack, my brother and sister-in-law moved to another state and wanted me to move in with them. We were to all retire and live happy. My brother is an alcoholic as both of my parents were too. He got upset with me and wants me out of his house. I will be 65 this year and will need to find a job and work for the rest of my life as well as find a place to move. Most of my furniture was given away so I will have to start again. I have limited income, and it hurts me that my own family do not show any concern. My sister-in-law says if I move away, I am hurting myself. I think I am protecting myself. How will holidays be when my brother does not speak to me at all. I live in my bedroom with my 2 dogs for the most part. I do this to try and think what to do. There is not any compassion from the family here and I am having difficulty with this. My depression has increased and I am not sure why other than I realize now that for my entire life, I have not had one person that could emotionally support me. I feel so alone. I could not have children so that has created a void in my life. I have read others posts and totally understand what they are feeling. My doctor just gave me more anti-depressants to take and asked me to go to Al-Anon. I went to one session and will continue to go. I am not sure this is right for me. I hope to get some help as I do not like what I am going thru.
Thank- you

Oh, You poor soul, my heart goes out to you, I can relate to you as so much of my life runs parallel to yours. Find All the help you can, contact Salvation Army, they help people. Contact a Social worker in your area. Look in the front of your phone book, there are a lot of services listed there. United Way helps people. Go online and search out free support groups, therapists who work on a sliding fee scale, you need support. And of course we are here for you. I wanted to cry when I read your post, I want to offer you comfort and support, I have a good idea of the horrible position you are in, I too feel lonely and need support and to help others if I can. Do not listen to your sick family, listen to your own inner voice it will not let you down. Are you a church person, some churches offer help. I have one son but he was in a bad accident at age 22 and is a quad, and there will be no grand children, he does not live with me, he is in England. I do have my own house, but no friends, and my two lovely cats. I am crippled with anxiety, I was poisoned by an inept nurse practitioner who overloaded me on a number of powerful antidepressants. I now have a psychiatrist, he has me on 3 drugs, one for anxiety and muscle relaxant and 2 antidepressants, and will not give me any thing else, we have to get the other drugs out of my brain and that will take months. I am afraid to drive, cannot watch much TV, read my books, cook, do not get hungry, food tastes awful. So as you can see I am like you in an awful situation, but if I can help you I would be glad to. I will close by sending your Love, Hope and Peace. Sprinkle 1 xx
I always went thru life knowing there were other people in worse shape than me but I think now getting older I realize that I have never had anyone really care about me
I have always been a caretaker and the caretaker always has to be strong no matter what
Now that I am not , I am banished because they don’t care!
I go to church and pray everyday
I thank you for your support and hope you will find the strength in good time to get stronger also
Yip all to similar to me no one left who gives a dam about me, if one brother left who's that wrapped in his family and how much amazing money he's earning while working abroad in Denmark with a few weeks back home here and there to see his partner and his son...while I'm just waiting to die 😀 hope things get better for you op...im 41 now and my life's over i welcome death now.
I hope you can seek out another legal counsel- that does not sound right at all that you should have to pay his penalties. Too many women and men get cheated when a person of bad character does not take responsibility. If he doesn't have money or assets , I say he needs to get some in order to pay you back! He's an adult not a child, right? Be kind to yourself- you have rights!
He got out of it????? Always better to try- prison, sickness or no sickness. You are talking about how he has alienated his friends etc- I hope you are not going soft. Too many women -( and I once heard of one who forfeited child support because she "felt sorry" for her lowlife ex. They are both deceased. It only takes one legal counsel with the right angle to be on your side. I am sure you have seething anger, and I do not blame you.
If it's a pension- you would still get that as you know not him just like SS. If it's investments, savings etc- well I don't know. He has been convicted of fraud- I hope that you find a nice, go get em young lawyer- I don't know about legal aid who would love to put someone like that back behind bars and get your money. Good luck to you- you deserve to live a better life. I do not know what country you live in- but I believe in most states in the USA ( I am not in the legal field) when people are sentenced to go to prison they serve time and might get credit for time served depending on the judge) . This is a new one- was to go to prison and got out of it. I hope you can make an appointment with the judge if you have not done so already- who cares if this monster is sick? Fraud as we know is very serious and it has caused you a great loss.
I am in the USA also- I wish you all the luck in the world- as you say you have rights and he is a criminal! Think about all of the people who were hurt when the banksters crashed the economy- you go girl- you sound like a nice intelligent person and we are close to the same age bracket- remember that song "Back in the saddle again"
