I feel like my support network is slipping away. My sister no longer talks to me (unrelated to my person being arrested) and she's made sure I can't really talk to my parents about anything now. They were there for from when the knock came and up until now. I don't know where to turn. On top of everything that's going on with my person, I have other things going on.

Hi

if you need to vent, we are all here for you.



if you want to vent on a 1 to 1 I'm happy for you to message me.



sometimes just sharing can reduce some of the stress. I can't promise to have answers but I will listen.



my family has been ripped apart so I might have some understanding.



Big hugs to you.

I hear you. My 3 daughters no longer speak to me as an indirect result of the first knock. All my "friends" disappeared when they found out. I don't have any family. So it's just my son and I now as his Dad is about to go back to prison next month. I literally hide myself away. I've also found it extremely difficult to get professional support for my extreme anxiety and PTSD. As soon as I tell any psychiatrist or counsellor that the ex is still in our lives, the shutters go up on their side and I feel very judged. I think it's appalling that we get treated like that or maybe I'm just really unlucky. I wish you all the very best and my inbox is always open. X

The loneliness and isolation is really tough isn't it?

I've withdrawn entirely from social things because faking it through the day at work is hard enough. I can't confide in anyone so I'm just stuck on my own, in my own personal hell.

This situation just takes everything.
