Welcome!
I have no friends, my family hate me and I am a drunk!
I have decided to spend the evening with a chilled Chenin blanc, some oatcakes and jarlsburg and anyone lovely enough to join me.
Criteria for entry: you must have a miserable life too. No joy allowed.

@CuckooCuckooClock

Will soon be marking a decade since I became disabled and chronically ill. Lockdown and long Covid is a very small taste of what my life has become. For shits and giggles I’ve also now got what must be long Covid symptoms on top.

Just downed a Baileys cos I saw this post. Hardly ever drink.[/quote]

notthemum · 09/04/2021 21:40

Am on way, picked up choccy as well and more alcohol.

Brownies are greatGrin

I now feel like I can share my pity. I have mentioned it before, but here feels quite comfortable to off load

When I was a teen I was groomed by a much much older, got married very quickly. The whole thing was awful, he forced me into things at gun point, threatened and abused me almost everyday in every way. I got pregnant, had DD. I told him I wanted to leave. Whilst I was out (very rare I was allowed somewhere on my own so probably he pre planned it) he told me (a variation of) I could leave him but never see DD again Or I'd have to come home, never leave and I'd have to cope with life the way it is and learn to be a better wife in bed.

Me and DD left, leaving my SD with him, she wouldn't come with me. We divorce.

Few months later, my DD told me he had touched her inappropriately. It Went no where even though it was reported.

Years later

The police phone me and ask me to make a statement and be witness as my ex husband has been arrested for CSO on SD.

So my pity party is because all of this is shit, just really awful shit.

I have nightmares every night. I'm tired, so tired of having it hang over me. Tired of knowing this will be with me for the rest of my life.

I've changed details so it's not too outing.

Are you at least a problematic drinker? If so I'll hold your hand
Chocobudbrownies · 09/04/2021 21:45

@Chocobudbrownies hells bells that is a lot of shit for one person to go through!! He sounds like an absolute douche of the highest order! Hope you get through it all ok, you probably do the so brave thing too when really you just want to rock in a corner but for what it’s worth you do sound brave.
Well done for getting your DD away from him.

Workinghardeveryday · 09/04/2021 21:47

Life is unfair as I'm reading for so many people.

Now I feel a bit relaxed since I've had a cocodamol (pain relief). Lol I'm no addict. Ithere are some lovely people on here with worse stories than mine. I was with a guy for 7 years who robbed me everyday. He got married to someone 4 years into is seeing each other but wouldn't marry me. I sickeningly jumped from man to man to just get over the previous one. Life at home was shit. There was always a need to be wanted. Always whether at school, work, home, as a wife as a sister as an aunt. I'm so fed up of it all. So fed up. I just dont give a flying shit anymore.

Life I guess is never fair for anyone. I never feel sorry for myself but I want to today. I do.

One2late · 09/04/2021 21:50

@Chocobudbrownies oh my days. Here please take a big hug from me and big shit on life from me too for handing you so much shit. Oh love you poor love.
