Dear Tess,
It's absolutely ok if you don't know what to say.
Sometimes life feels just so awful, it seems like there's nothing to say.
But i am listening.
I would just like to point out that I think you are far from shallow or hopeless.
From the little I know of you, you show the opposite.
Someone who can read into the wisdom of Pooh and Piglet isn't shallow, but shows insight in my opinion.
Someone who has survived the troubles of your youth and your recent upheavals, to me, is someone who shows resilience and courage, not hopelessness.
I do not blame you for feeling completely overwhelmed about your 35 year old man-child son.
My partner's brother is exactly the same, he lives at the parent's house, his mother does his washing, pays his bills, puts up with him stealing money from them, seriously, I could go on for the entire character limit .... I have to see this man-child maybe 4 times a year, and each visit, after approximately, 4.5 seconds, I'm done. Want to go home.
I can only imagine how infuriating it is for you.
Sorry I don't have anything constructive for you.
But I hear you Tess.
