      Hi everyone

      This is my first time posting on here. I have been out of my abusive marriage for a few years now and I feel like I have regressed. I feel numb and lonely. My daughter is older and is creating her own life and I am often alone. I cry a lot and feel low and lost. He always seems to land on his feet and has no idea how hard it is for me. I have no money and am worried as I couldn’t pay my rent this month and I don’t know what to do. I feel like I am letting my daughter down and I am cross with myself for feeling like this so far down the line. Any advice or help would be great.

      Dear Sailaway
      I too have been ‘out’ for a few years and I understand your feelings

      I cry, almost daily, and suffer a lot with mh issues and loneliness

      my children are also moving on with their own lives and I feel like I am failing and vanishing from life

      I am sorry I cannot help with wise words but you are not alone in your feelings
      xx

      Hi, I am only a few months totally out of a relationship that mentally destroyed me. I will always feel lonely but it’s for what I wanted not what I got. It’s hard every day but we can help each other

      Blondey, I am several months out and have just noted down what you wrote as a reminder to myself, with a subtle difference. “When I feel lonely it is for what I wanted not what I got.”
