Corona and living with other family

[Dannos]

I’ve been living at my otters family home with 8 to 9 others . Loving and full functioning family. I have a 1 y.o son with her and a 3 y.o daughter to someone else which I share 50/50 . My parter who I can’t open up to gives no shits about me when I open up. I feel alone, no one to talk to when all I have and everything I gave up for and sacrificed was for my family (son,daughter,parter,her first family and my own) I commit to work family and that has been my routine . When it comes to talking about my feelings my parter blows up. At times like this I can’t see my daughter and she has no idea how that feels like and I think all she cares about is her son and that’s how she sees it as . Her son! That’s not fair

Hi Dannos,

I feel for you. It sounds like you’re really missing your daughter...not being able to see her must be so hard. It must really hurt that your partner doesn’t seem to understand how much you miss her, or care that much about your daughter.

I sense your deep loneliness. I know you have tried to reach out to your partner, but she hasn’t been very supportive. I feel that would really hurt.

As a gentle suggestion, I wonder if it’s possible to organise a regular FaceTime or Skype call to catch up with your daughter?

I know it’s not the same as seeing her in person, but it’s sometimes the next best thing during this time of social/physical distancing. I’ve been regularly FaceTiming my friends & family to keep in touch, for example.

It’s just a small suggestion though 🙂

Kindness and care,

Pepper
