Life without family!

[1973m]

Hi all , how are you doing?

Anxiety is not without its peaks and troughs!! I’ve been ok .. but my goodness I miss my family. I miss the days when being a mum to two little ones was all I knew !now I’m alone they are grown! I’m in the middle of a divorce and live as I knew it changed beyond comprehension! I thought I’d grow old with him .. my kids would come by with their friends we’d have fun now I’m not so sure!!its so strange!! I don’t however miss him or the eggshells I walked upon! Just looking for coping strategies. Thank you.

Been there and done that about 10/12 years ago, I have 4 kids and had very little contact with them during the divorce and had a bunch of other very serious issues going on at the same time. Had recently lost both parents, moving house, with subsidaence, business chrashing around my feet, cheated by a good lonstanding friend, money worries.

This probably accounted for 50% my heart disease, but I got through it, got up off my backside, met someone new. It took effort, risk of making a fool of myself.....no, I did make a fool of myself many time, but eventually hit the jackpot.

As a dyslexic, the only book I ever read in my life "Be Brave Little Noddy"

Hi,

It's very hard when your kids grow up and leave home, nothing heals that ache. And we miss them more than they miss us. But we have to let them go.

I brought my three up on my own for seven years when my husband run off with someone much younger than him.

All water under the bridge now.

My kids are all older and come back and see me now, I have grandchildren, and I eventually met someone else.

You never know what is round the corner, hang on and you'll see... ❤️
