Today I've been 1 year cancer free. No matter how much I hate life right now, I'm trying every day.
My first goal for this milestone was to get a tattoo, but then decided to get a ring. Neither of them happened because of my financial issues. I wanted to go to the beach and just lay there and reflect on my life, but the weather sucks and it's freezing outside.

Feeling so lonely today

Hi Hopeless, that is such good news about hitting one year cancer free!!!!
And the tattoo.......the ring........it's OK they can wait............not having either of those can't take away from........1 year!!!!!
1 year is a milestone in/all by itself!!!!
And not going to the beach.........well that's OK too, you're on here with us............if you want you can reflect on things with us, or "just" know you've indelibly marked that milestone by sharing it with us.
And the futures ahead, right??!!!
Thank you so much for letting us in on such an important day and I hope you stick around.

A year cancer free is great.

I know how you feel though. Sometimes not matter how much support I have I still feel alone with this depression. It's me and it at the end of the day it feels like.

Nothing has been going right over the past six months, but I thought today was gonna be better. Neither my kids noticed or said anything and I don't expect my soon-to-be-ex to remember or say anything to me although we are trying to stay cordial towards another

Hi Hopeless, maybe the fact that neither of your kids have said anything says just as much about how much they did/do actually care. I'm guessing that they found it really scary and painful when they knew you had cancer?? So maybe it's something they've desperately tried to put "behind them"??? Tried to put out of their lives???
Of course I don't know about your partner, perhaps you could ask him/her.........but do you think that maybe a reason for your kids not saying anything???
But you can still feel good about the one year, with or without anybody else's acknowledgement, hey??
And the last six months..........I'm sorry they haven't gone well, if you want to talk about them (or anything else!!) then here is definitely a good place for support.

They just don't remember and my soon to be ex didn't think about it either. I contacted them, told my husband that he needs to do a better job on letting the kids know. Then I spoke to the kids, told them that they are old enough to hear this (youngest is almost 16). They didn't send me a Christmas card, nor a thank you note for the gifts I sent them. I told them that even though I'm far away from them doesn't make me less part of the family! I hope I got it through to them and my husband!
