Lost Alone and used

[lost_Alone_and_used]

I am a 62 year old lady that has spent my whole life doing for my family, but last year I had my family want the house we owned together for themselves, they bought me out and I had to move to an area away from everyone, that was because of cost. So now I have no one around, no job, and go days to weeks not speaking to anyone, although they text sometimes. It really didn’t take long for all their promises to be broken. All my life I have been told how special I am, then I watch them treat the other parents better..they say that they know I understand ..I just agree because why argue.

Dear lost Alone and used,

I am so glad you've come here.

You wont be lost or alone or used in this community. I know it's only online, but it is sincere, and we are all real people who care for one another, including you.

I felt like crying, reading your post.

I think it's such a shame that people like you who are understanding and empathic and always looking out for others and their wellbeing are not treated well because everyone knows "you'll understand".

Not fair.

I want to write more to you, but i have to go right now.

I want you to know that you matter and we are here for you.

Hopefully talk more with you soon.

Hi lost alone,

I'm so sorry you're feeling lost and all alone and by the sounds of your message you seem very affected by the whole situation with your family.
It's very upsetting when the ones that are meant to be closest to us betray us and hurt us deeply. It's not a nice feeling at all.

Have you got any supports at the moment? A regular GP that you see?
It may be worth speaking with them and expressing your emotions to them; they may be able to offer some suggestions or provide referrals to other services that can support you best.

The GP may have some information about the community your in and social groups. They could be resourceful.
I know when i'm feeling lost and alone, I really just need to get myself out of the house and seeing friends or even just going somewhere populated with people, it can aid my misery.

Its painful to hear that it's your family that are making you feel this way.
Unfortunately we can't control other people but we can control our own actions though. If you feel up top it, writer out a list of things you enjoy and one of your close friends and then try directing some of your energy away from your family. and invest it into something or someone that you wrote down on that list?

By nature we want to feel loved so it may be nice to go surround yourself with someone that is loving and supportive.

I hope you're feeling better today.

Sending you happy vibes. 🙂
