My list of woes/ newbie
My 15 yr old daughter ran away for 6 hours. Just walked out in her pajamas and tennis shoes the other morning. I have her back but now I’m trying to help her while also worried child services will come over. I’m a mom of six. Four boys, two adopted girls. I’m getting divorced. My ex, I had to insist get help and on meds for emotional problems before he could see the kids. My younger sister has Leukemia and thankfully had a bone marrow transplant. Just found out tonight my oldest sister has breast cancer like my mother did and is a survivor of. Found out my estranged stepdad is in the hospital because he has brain cancer and fell in a fire he made to clean his yard while my mother was at work. I missed two days of work I needed because 5 teens of mine live here and will eat everything and I spend most of our money on feeding them. I love my kids but Brie dad works while traveling. There shouldn’t be a “but” but it’s stressful. I suffer from ptsd so I have to be careful of managing stress. Managing stress seems impossible right now. I have a sort of boyfriend but he’s married and that is awful that I’m so lonely that I’ve stuck with him for over 14 months. I justify it to myself because he lives in another country so it’s online. E
@seawitch897 I can see it's been a lot on you and you wish to feel better so that you can take care of your teens well. Would you like to share what are some of the things that are healthy and good for you, and somethings which could be unhealthy?
I think it helps to write all this crap out- kind of the point of 7 cups - an area to vent and not feel alone. I’m sorry you are dealing with all of that. It sounds like you are lonelier with that man than you would be without him. I hope things get better.
