Callie: sorry you were feeling sad and lonely today. If you lived in my town, and had a reason to go to Alanon, I would have picked you up and taken you with me tuesday evening. And ironic but the one lady who isn't even 40 is now raising at least one of her grandchildren (9 month old girl that was there last night and was so precious!), anyhow, she was saying how she feels lonely at times as a 9mth old isn't much company and she babysits other children too, so misses adult company and I guess her dh is emotionally unavailable.

My point is, I hope you found someone to reach out too, I work full time but even having people around me, I can still feel lonely, but I am blessed with a dh that listens to me and helps me. And my therapist has strongly encouraged me to branch out, so I have a lady friend I do lunch with once a week, and go to alanon to have some people in my life.

Someone on the board is always here for you, I just hope you slept well and woke up today feeling better. Take care, Hugs, Josie.
