Feeling so lonely inside and disconnected ..

[MiahMia]

I’m so low in myself right now. I’m not close to either of my two adult children, one lives miles away whilst the other is neurodiverse and a bit of a pain sometimes. She sleeps in the day, awake at night in her pc. We have little in common, and she gets on with her dad better than me. The disconnect I really struggle with as I’ve a good relationship with my mum and are close. I love my daughter but sometimes find it hard to like her. I’ve never told anyone how I feel inside. Where do I go from here, I’m struggling ?

How old are you?

In my early 50s, why do,you ask?

Because your feelings could be linked to the menopause, not saying it is but it's an avenue to investigate with a blood test.

Couldn’t be that you are grieving the relationship you thought you would have with your children, with the expectation of it being like you and your mum? That would be really hard and is understandable that you would feel low.
