My ONLY source of support now are my friends & we support each other. Some have family support too, others like me have no family other than my daughter 1100 miles away. I have found this small community & also the wonderful church friends I have have actually become more of a family than the family I had. I have acquaintances from all over here & just like when they have a need we all come together & support. This was always what I IMAGINED life SHOULD BE like.....I never imagined it could actually be like what I imagined & even better. That is why this is the first place I have lived in 65 years I truly call home.

I have several close friends & lots from all the different activities I am involved in & we all have a connection bond beyond the activities.

I loved my mom & was there for her since I was her only family at the end but there was a sigh of relief when the stress she created all my life was gone.

Now that therapy was so successful, I went about a year without seeing my T but when the divorce started getting complicated I just needed her to talk things through without burdening my friends with details & what I was really feeling. She is an awesome support & & helps keep a reminder on all the skills I learned in therapy.
