Sheena - are you OK? Only you have not come back and it is worrying.

Malka, I figure she has merely taken some advice and is off to talk to someone. I hope so, surely she did not ask this question for no reason.

I think she is ok seen her elsewhere today.

Thanks for the reassurance Lynn.

Yes she is quite active on the "other side"

It depends what I'm down about.

If it's about my dog, then I have a great online friend who is always there to 'listen'

If it's about family, then my sister is always there

Hubby is great, but sometimes is just a little too close and is worrying about the same problems

I really miss my mam. She was always there and was always on my side both to listen and lend a helping hand when I needed it

I find it hard to talk to anyone with the problems I have. I find that if I tell my family member then I will get them worried but if I tell a friend I find that they might judge my situation or they just don't care about my issue. I mostly write down my thoughts. I hope you don't have the same problem as myself but if you need someone I am here.

I truly believe your mum is still listening.I talk to my dad all the time,he still helps me(( hugs))

I talk to myself, well 'myself' as in there is no one else around. When I am out walking the boy I will talk out loud as if I am talking to the person I want to say the things to. Sometimes actually saying things outloud really helps. Failing that hot bath, bottle of wine, turn the music up, drink wine, sing head off, cry = feel better

As the sayng goes 'better out than in '

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply......

The two people I would 'normally' talk to I feel have their own problems at the moment..... Sister & Daughter.

So, long story short.................Our Son, married for 10yrs has 3 children. Had had various ups & downs but after a few weekends of helping out we had a lovely weekend whilst they stayed here overnight, they went home on Sunday afternoon.............then, Monday early afternoon, our D.in law turned up to say she had Son's stuff in the car & could we get them????OMG Hubby & I were gobsmacked, but took all indoors...............Without going into ins & outs, problem Money!
We took our Son in & he stayed for 3 months, left here with prospect of new flat, job & getting act together! However we haven't seen him since the week after he left here, that is 9th March.......he lives 10 mins away, although had odd text.....he is alive!

Only part of problem..................
