Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. I will try to post individual responses shortly.

So far, I only got one response on my group blog....and it was basically someone saying he could relate (not to my situation but to some of the feelings because he was going through some marriage/job trouble)...and said something along the lines of him putting it in perspective and realizing that if he wanted to change what he was feeling then he needed to do something about it.

I honestly don't know how to respond to him...Feels like an apples to oranges comparison to me. Ultimately, he made a decision to quit his job because the work schedule was affecting his marriage and childcare situation....and since his wife made a decent income, they were able to swing it. And that helped his situation, thus helping his feelings change.

I'm not sure how that relates to the deep feelings that I expressed and trying to get to a place of accepting a life void of love.

Am I missing something here?
