Parents Divorcing

Hi.

I don't know why I'm writing this but here I am. I'm 21, moved interstate at 18 by myself. So been by myself for a while now. Recently (past 9 months) my parents have been on and off separated then back then off again. But now they have officially split. I don't live at home so it doesn't really effect me. But living so far away and quite a lonely life. I've just been feeling more alone than ever before. Like there has always been a home to go back too but now it is broken and falling apart. For a young person in a different state living by herself and working a demanding job. I have no social life and it is making me feel very alone in this world. Especially since I can't complain, my parents are going through it. The divorce is rough for them.  My problems are so small compared to them. 

I don't know just want to see if anyone relates I guess.

Hi Guest...I just noticed you posted yesterday. Welcome to the forums! You are strong..very strong!

Your problems are not 'small' at all. 

 

Moving interstate is a a big move at 18. I understand your situation as I left home at 16 due to my parents fighting all the time. It was awful

 

Can I ask if you have a couple of friends that you can lean on when you are lonely?  Having a support network is super helpful!

 

any questions are always welcome here Guest. There are many gentle people that can be here for you.

 

Im Paul...You are always welcome to be a part of the Beyond Blue forums. I understand the loneliness. It can hurt... a lot

 

my kindest always

 

Paul
