New here
Hello.
I am new and looking for a little extra support. My daughter father just ended our relationship of 19 years and my daughter leaves for college next week. I am kinda a mess.
Hey @powerfulPenny6260, I’m really glad you reached out. It sounds like you’re going through two huge life changes at the same time, and it makes complete sense that you’re feeling like a mess right now. Losing a relationship after 19 years is a massive emotional shock on its own, that’s almost two decades of shared life, routines, memories, and identity. Having your daughter leave for college at the same time adds another layer of grief, transition, and loneliness. Anyone in your position would be struggling.
There’s nothing wrong with needing extra support right now. Big changes like these can shake your sense of stability and leave you feeling untethered. You’re not weak for feeling this way, you’re human, and you’ve been hit with a lot all at once.
You’re welcome to keep talking here as much as you need. 7 Cups is meant for moments exactly like this, where life feels too heavy to carry alone. And if you ever want someone to talk to privately, you can request a 1:1 chat with a listener at any time. You’re not a burden here.
Sending you virtual hugs 💜
