Hi all:
Well where do I start? I moved here in January to supposedly live with my daughter and her family while I collect furniture and such over a year for a home of my own well apartment, (I'm on disability with CPP and SIAD program for the disabled so apartment is more like it) After two months I couldn't handle living with the family in cramped quarters, sharing a bunk bed with my sweet 5 year old.

I have so many Physicial, and mental health issues that need to be addressed, and my daughter has been driving me into the city about a 25 minute drive from the town I am in.

I just found out she is leaving on June 27 for 2 months to visit our hometown with the kids. I was angry, so very angry, that she would do that, since she is my only access to these appointments, not to mention groceries.

She had moved to SK a year before me, and when she and the kids and hubby left I cried for days feeling totally abandoned since she is my baby, last child to leave the nest. I cried for days, and slept when not crying.

It reminded me of the days before I gave up on making friends or having relationships, if they left, or we broke up I would feel like my stomach and heart were bursting in pain, and I would cry. I would obsess on it. Then a small part of me is thinking that because she and her hubby don't seem that close, she is using this trip as a way to get back home, and start there again.

Then there is my 13 year old granddaughter, We were so close before she left but since I have been here she has been a typical and Gramma isn't cool, I feel really abandoned by her too.

The only friend or support I have is my best friend (I never have more than one) back home, thank goodness we can talk on the phone often, and that always grounds me.

OMG I didn't realize this was so long

Anyway, I have an appointment with my PDoc on the 5th and a mental health intake on the 22, to hopefully get into therapy and maybe an apartment that is safe since my self care tends to plummit.

Thanks for listening

Thank you I think I am going to move into the city close by. At least when I get into therapy, I can hopefully meet some other people, and have some form of support network, I sure don't have one with my family.
