I'm feeling so lonely, and this is the first time I have reached out to talk to someone. I feel like I'm the only one in the world that feels this way

Welcome here. You're not alone, know others here really understand & been through the same things, got good, kind folks here to talk with so stay w/us, having cyber friends helps one not feel as lonely. My heart goes out to you.

Lonely. No you are not the only one. I think in today's society there is such a disconnect between people due to technology. It fuels us to text each other when we're in the same room and talk on the phone when we are out to dinner. It has made it even easier for us to distance ourselves from others. My suggestion is to get away from anything that would not allow direct contact with people for a few days. Go to a park or invite people you do know over and reconnect with others. It always helps to know that I have people on here to talk to. But sometimes it makes me feel better to actually speak and be heard verbally with someone near me to get over my lonely state.

I've been in an abusive relationship for 7 years and have lost everything for a man that I know doesn't love me, but for some reason I can't leave. For one I have nowhere to go my children won't talk to me because I stay. There are just no
options

is it too late to start over. I'm 53 with nothing and no support, but I can't live like this anymore

It's never too late to start over if you consider the fact that you will live till 80-100 which means you have tons of life left to live. There are women's shelters all over the place. Perhaps one of your children could help get you to one. Then once you are there they will help you become self supporting. It will be really hard at first but not impossible and your world will open up once you start to surround yourself with people who appreciate you

@honeylemon …Loneliness is a very difficult part of the human experience…It comes and goes…Notice, however, that it doesn’t last forever…It hurts, but how we respond is very important…Don’t give loneliness power over your life…Keep it in perspective…It is only a PART of life…Respectfully…LARRYPSYCH…

you are not alone it feels like it but you are not. There are lots of ppl here to talk to and express how you feel

The morning started out with him yelling at me telling me to take the train to my mothers. She's 85 and I have no money to help her. How can I get a lawyer with no money. I am so depressed I can't even think. The crazy thing is I keep thinking maybe he will love me tomorrow. I am a total mess and honestly feel like life is not worth living

@bearybear - doesn’t hurt to do some researching first http://www.divorceinfo.com/ can answer some of the questions your asking, also to talk w/an attorney the first visit is free just to gain some insight. I’d advise to get copies of your tax returns, while you find a way to stash some cash that you’ll possibly need later on. If you focus on you instead of this man treating you awful, it will take you farther. Try to take baby steps, is there a way you can open a bank acct in your name only???
