I don’t matter

I don’t matter

I am glad I found this site, hope i matter here... I am a mother of 2 adult kids. I left my country when they were 5 and 6yrs old, for greener life opportunities here in Australia. Indeed their lives are now much better and I don't matter to them now. At this pandemic times, most parents are very much cared by their children, whereas me, at 60yrs old, living on my own and so alone, no calls, no replies to my pleas... I wish covid takes me instead of those who are wanted and loved by their families.

Re: I don’t matter

Hi @ChokingV

Im sorry, what you are going through sounds truly heartbreaking. I can hear that it feels like reaching out for support hasn't helped so far, how can support fill that void? But there are people here to support you and sit with you through such a difficult time so you do not feel so isolated.

If you feel up to it, I encourage you to reach out to the SANE Help Centre, as Peonies suggested. They are available weekdays (10am-10pm) via phone (1800 18 7263), webchat, or you can also book a call with them here.

Take care,

Basil.
