I already feel ashamed about that new thread, because the problem was really small, and... Nobody tells me if I did the right thing or not, and there's just a vacuum (aside from you and another person). And I know too well the state of shouting into the void of the Internet.
Anyway, my mom's job is still there. The rumors were apparently quite exaggerated. A little bit burnt down and everything else just smells burny.

I am sorry my friendship online cannot be enough - it is all I can offer you. Friendship, whether online or not, is a precarious thing. Friends are not bound to the same committment as a spouse. That means that while sometimes you will reach for them, they may not be available. It does not mean they necessarily don't want to be there for you - but they may be on vacation, or you may have lost touch for a time, or they may be sleeping or a myriad of other reasons. Each type of relationship comes with its own definition of "love" and its own boundaries - you either accept them or you don't.
I know it can be hard, but I hope you find a way to accept the boundaries that come with friendship and what it's type of love is.
