Alone with my grief

I lost my family last year. I ended an abusive relationship and now my adult children won't communicate with me and I can't meet my first grandchild. I am struggling with the loss and grief.

Re: Alone with my grief

I can relate to this, I am alone, isolated and finding it difficult to move forward. It's been 5 months since I've seen my son. My ex dropped him at daycare one morning on the way to work and they never came home.

Domestic violence is awful, for me it started off small and never got physical so I didn't

recognise it at first. As the controling and abusive behaviour escalated my mental health declined and I felt trapped and dependent on my abuser.

I hope things get better for you, never give up because that's what your ex wants and then they have won.

Re: Alone with my grief

@Gypsyr0se @Pippijanet . Welcome.

 

Im sorry you are both struggling with such deep loss. I have come from an abusive relationship, so I  can relate.

 

There are others here who understand, and hopefully , you will meet them and feel less along.

 

You might like to visit the Good Morning  thread. It’s a light thread, where you can get to know a few others around the forums.

 

Good to meet you both.

Re: Alone with my grief

Sorry my name is confusing. I am alone

Re: Alone with my grief

@Pippijanet , I think I might have confused you by putting two names up. Sorry. I just noticed you were both new to the forums, and on the same thread.

 

You are not alone here. 💕💕
