I'm a singe parent, so I spupose I'm not techically 'alone' for much of the time, but I do feel conspicuouslly lonely - at work, at the school gates, whenever I go anywhere.
I feel like the 'friends' I have are mainly people who feel a bit sorry're for me. They're not longstanding ones, anyway, and I hate feeling like eeproject. I feel like they're not people who would rate me as contritbuting anything to their lives - i'm not someone they're close to.
At work - well I suck at my job - i'm just not intelligent enough to be amongst the best at what I do. It's really competitive, and you have to have the time and patience to absorb a lot of information, which i don't. And the confidence to articulate your thoughts well in meetings. also a problem. I think my colleagues wish i wasn't there. I'm an embarrassment.
My mum's toxic, my ex was, and is, abusive. hasn't stopped him shacking up with someone new though. no relationship with ex's parents. I blame other people, but it must be me.
dcs are still young, thev've been through a lot.
i'm also volunteering eth a career change in mind. More time I don't have. Sure I'd suck at that too.
