This new world sucks

This new world sucks

Having to explain my situation today (loveless marriage) just makes me feel more broken. I feel so useless.

Overwhelmed with the mess again, seems nobody else wants to help to anything around here. My house is broken and so am I.

My few friends are not here. They see me and still like me but ...they are not here. They can't help.

I just lost my Centrelink family tax payment (no changes, not my fault) so now I am fully reliant on my husband's business that I hate. Tax time soon and all the paperwork is mine to sort. There is no money to pay for anything and nothing to show for our hard work.

I'm going to have to drop out of uni, find a new job and work full time to get by. It is a trap.

Stuck in this trap.

Off to mow the grass and then work all afternoon.

No life, no love, same old crap over and over and over.

Learn to love the mess I guess.

I am embarrassed for my kids to see me live like this and not see anyone in good relationships. Everyone is so unhappy.

Hi @Messylife

I agree it is so hard telling the story again and again and particularly when progress, is at a snails pace.

A hard situation you are in.

I agree with your summary "Learn to love the mess I guess."

I had to convince myself "Life is not (always) fair"

Once we conclude these things, we need to refocus.

What can l do to make a change.

Writing on the forum is good because it shows you are aware some things we cannot control. Just our attitude.

I hope you can express love to the kids. They may not be as concerned as you. They may have concern but l hope you can just show them love a d support.

Stay strong! It is hard. But harder to give up.

Hey @Messylife ,

It sounds so hard for you right now. I'm sorry to hear that you have to rely on your husband's business, and you have to drop out of uni.

Do you have any professional supports you can connect with?

It is a great start that you have been able to connect here on the forums. I hope feel a sense of connection and belonging here as many have been through tough experiences.

You are not alone.
