Hi Newbie,
Hope you are still not stressed. If so, please let me know. :-)
Hi Careen, I see you originally posted this 78 days ago. Although I've been getting these emails for "eons" I just joined the group and your message struck a familiar cord with me. Yes, family can be extremely cruel. I don't think I've ever felt hurt as deeply as I have in the last 18 months and it has caused extreme stress and depression. Sometimes I can pull myself out of it and sometimes I just plain "wallow" in it. I am not in the greatest of health and this situation has not helped. I am going to try and join a local woman's organization in town that I read about recently and try to get my mind off of my problems before the dark days of winter set in and I get even more stressed and depressed. (I also have an almost 90 year old mother with dementia in a nursing home and get no help taking care of her needs and no one else hardly ever visits her but myself.) What have you done to cope?
