I am a 41-year-old divorced female. I have two children, 17 and 20 year old whom have a long list of medical problems. I am a full time career for my 20-year-old son, who was diagnosed with several mental illnesses related issues at the age of 16.
I had a rough dysfunctional childhood growing up and an abusive marriage for over 10 years. For the last eight years, I have raised my children on my own as the courts felt that the children’s father was a risk to their health and safety.
As my children and I have moved restlessly (due to safety reasons), I have not been able to make any long-term friendships. As every time we move I have had to cut ties with anyone, we knew.
Nine months ago, we moved to an isolated area, which is not connected to the mainland of Australia. I feel very alone as the locals are in tight little groups; this feeling is starting to affect my health and feelings.
I am glad to found this site and I hope to bond with others.
