I'm the youngest of 8 children. Raised poor and with an alcoholic abusive father. Married young, had 2 children, raised them together then divorced. Got breast cancer, abandoned by my adult children. Suffer with depression and anxiety for almost 40 years now. Recently had Covid at Christmas and I'm still upset over it. Worry way to much about my health. Have a new husband but still feel lost and alone a lot.

Lost and alone I understand, I'm sorry you've been dealt such major blows in your life x I'm hoping there are glimpses of happiness in between the bad bits?

I would like to suggesting finding yourself an Alanon meeting in person or online at Alanon.org. I 've been attending meetings for a long time and they are a life saver.
