I'm 46 and the realisation has dawned that I am really alone and going forward I'm the only person who I'll be able to trust or rely on. I can't believe that I'm so naive to have taken do long to realise this.
My dh has been having an affair with his ex. That's one thing, so I know now that I can't trust or rely on him.
My so called friend has bitched about me and my ds to a variety of people and is now turning other people against me as I had the temerity to call her on her behaviour. So I can't trust her, clearly have never been able to as she's basically been bitching about me and mine for most if the time I've known her.
My parents are great, I trust them. But they're elderly and they worry and with the best will in the world I can't use them as my sounding board or to tell them my problems. That would be cruel.
I love my children. They're wonderful and my saviours at the moment but I know that it's right and proper that they'll go their own way as they grow up, and that's fine.
But I suddenly feel as though I need to get used to it just being me who I can trust, if that makes any sense.
I don't actually know what I'm asking tbh, just needed to write it down.
