As the title. (Name changed for obvious reasons). Ironically I have very few friends, but a lot of people who come to me when they have a problemnor need a shoulder to cry on. These are not people who I socialise with but people I've got to know on the school run, old school friends and most of all family. My Mum messages me throughout the day to talk about her DM (my Grandmother) who is in a care home. It's very stressful and I try and give support and so on. She'll then video call me in the evening to say how stressed she is and she doesn't hold back on the drama. My best (only) friend is currently having chemo (Although coming to the end of it now and things are looking more hopeful) so I can't offload on her (again she leaves me around four or five voice notes a day about her stuff). There are other people but I'm not sure it's useful to list them all here??
I'm so utterly tired. I'm extremely and painfully lonely as my marriage is pretty much for appearance only and we never talk (there are issues). For various reasons I haven't ever really 'lived' (so it's always a bit odd that people seem to want my opinion, given that I haven't had much experience of anything at all). My children are pretty amazing although my eldest is becoming like his father which is proving tricky.
Where does an agony aunt go in her time of need? Anyone have any advice?
