Honestly, I am just tired. old, done the same job for 25 years, (Stay at home mother) Â lived in a strange city for the last 18 of them. Not one friend in this whole city. I hurt from age and loneliness. I was someone else when I got here but between him and the kids.. Who am I now? Trapped in the house by my own fears of the traffic. So fat I hurt, yet the pain keeps me from exercising.. Catch 22. I won’t die, I would love to, but how can I? How can I put my husband and kids though that? Yet the thought of another day, another week, makes me cry.. no one hears, even when they are awake, they don’t hear. I KNOW so much!! I have studied for years, healing, faith, karma. A thousand books. Yet my heart is sick, No knowledge heals that sickness. Too far from home, but home has gone, I am not only out of place I am a step out of time as well. Displaced, So where do I go, another 8 years of middle of the road .. 6pm dinners pick-ups from school, Fast sex and no connections? Laundry and dishes…Oh Joy. I tell them, I talk to them. I cry and tell….but they still don’t see me!!! Have you ever wondered how you can scream so fucking LOUD and no one hear you??? I am being bored to death, A slow lingering suicide. A lonely time consuming death…Heart attack? Wishful thinking…But maybe one day, when all is truly said and done, I can let go, wander off and be free to be free, to fly, to soar, no dramatic gun shot, no cold corpse in a bed.. Just a note so they don’t waste time looking, searching. hoping. I am way past that already. and a body turns up somewhere…far later… )Forgive me if I have screwed this up, I am not very good at any thing really, there in lies the answer as to the “why”? “She wasn’t very good at anything”) Now THAT makes me laugh!!!!!

About 11 years ago my husband and I were bathing our toddler and he was complaining about his job in our new town. I said, “Y’know, we haven’t been here all that long. We can go back home and I can see if I can get my old job back. I’ll support us and you be the primary caregiver.” He said, “You mean stay at home and be a nobody?!” We’re now in the middle of a divorce and I hear you loud and clear.
How sad it made me when I realized I recognized your nickname from the previous comment I left. There MUST be something you enjoy. Find solace there and build your identity once more.
853 Not sure how you recognise my U/n as this is the only post I have made?
CDTY, Yes. Time leeches the very life from people. Things that make me happy, seem s fleeting, then it back to the thankless task of drudgery. I can’t imagine a divorce, I hope everything works out well for you and you find what makes your heart sing!!! One day, I will as well!
