I am terribly sorry that you've found yourself in this situation. I don't know what to think about your three "call buddies". I wonder who they turn to? I know how much it hurts when you wake up and think "what now?"....


Does your husband travel alot?

I really respect the fact that you have filters and boundaries with your daughter. Some mothers wouldn't be that self-aware of her daughter's need to "no know". It worries our children terribly when we talk. At least it does mine and I keep it to the bare minimum.

I am proud of you for reaching out here. I want you to continue and not worry at all about doing so!

I have no one to call at 2 a.m. I stand outside in my yard and look around and just "be".

My best friend of 35 years told me that she didn't want to be with me as my depression was getting worse and she wanted to live, live, live. I was with her through three divorces (two abusive husbands), picking up boys in dives on Lee Street,(I did NOT go to the dives..:-) ) three bankruptcies (after men drained her dry), the deaths of her parents, the divorce of her daughter, STDs and kept her from committing suicide once. Hell, that would depress anyone, right? :-) I see now how all this happened. Didn't thought that one through.

I stuff it and we three know how horribly bad that is. I do have someone, another state, that I will call about twice a year and talk.And I trust her with my life. But as for someone who is nearby and I trust. Nope.

As a female, I hardly trust anyone. Women or men. I am fortunate enough to have made friends here that I trust. We're all in the same boat and that does loosen up trust issues.

I email two friends and we wander around in the wilderness together.

???? ;-(

After reading this over, I must tell you that a male friend of six years, has been opening up to me and I am feeling that we're beginning to depend upon one another more. We've been friends since we worked in "juvie" together. Something about working with those kids caused us to become close pretty fast. {watching your back} He called me to tell me that he is on Zoloft due to his obsessive behavior after he leaves work. (did i turn computer off, etc. ) And we are totally sharing about our families.

I think that I could call him at 2:a.m. I wouldn't do it more than once a year, but heck! I feel better. :-)
