I raised 4 children to adulthood. Now that I am older, no one wants me. I found out in the last month that 3 of them did not want me nor want to help me. I thought that one of them was trying to help me but I was told tonight that she has plans that don’t include me at all. It’s her life and she has every right to plan it without me. I get that.
Even so, I feel like I have no one. I feel like I don’t belong here. My usefulness has ended and I don’t know 🤷*♀️ what to do. I feel like I am a burden to everyone. I don’t belong anywhere. I can’t take care of myself well and there is no one else to do it either. I feel like society is telling me that I have outlived my usefulness. I am not suicidal. I just don’t understand why I am not valued by the ones that I poured my life into. And now that I know that, what am I supposed to do?
I am so hurt.
I don’t even know how to deal with this.
