Alone

Apart from dd (20) who left home a year ago I have nobody really.
All hit home recently as I had a few minor surgeries and she had to accompany for one and made a bit of a mess of it really, ie not following hospital instructions which potentially put me at risk. She’s also not shown much thougtfulness on other occasions but I excuse it as she’s incredibly busy at work & socially and she must feel the burden of being my “only person “ if that makes sense.
i have no other family and no close friends anymore. I just feel like a total burden and sometimes wonder what purpose my existence is.
I’ve tried making friends but it’s easier said than done . Dating is hard work too.

We don’t know what your DD actually did wrong so it’s hard to comment - but it does seem as if you’re focusing on her as your only ‘person’ to project how you are feeling on her when she was trying to help - sounds like you got home fine and are ok? Be careful not to drive her away.

Try Samaritans again and definitely think about other groups you might be able to join. Hope you feel more positive soon.

@KellyJonesLeatherTrousers I don’t want put too much detail on here about what she did wrong but it was a long the lines of not following the hospital’s instructions about getting us home safely. Luckily no harm was done.

Bump

So did she choose the wrong route home? Or use the wrong mode of transport? She is still very young so I think you need to let it go. You have spoken to her about it, she has listened and can learn from it, so that should be the end of the matter.

Your daughter clearly cares about you, try and move on from whatever happened.

Life is so precious, give yourself a chance to live it. Is there something you can do tomorrow to make a positive step?

@Anchorage56 yes along the lines of the wrong mode as she got distracted by something. Yet for a previous surgery earlier in the year she arranged it all exactly as she should have done. I haven’t mentioned it to her again and nor do I intend to - as you say she’s very young.

@KellyJonesLeatherTrousers thank you.

Still feeling so low. Is anyone there?

How are you feeling today @Starsunnysad ?
