Going it alone single mom needs support

bcnbklyn

Although I am 7 years healthy post BC, I am stuck in a place that doesn't seem like my life. I survived, I divorced and care for my fabulous twin boys, help an aging parent and keep my staff happy in the office. I am sad, depressed and angry that this is the life I have been dealt. I hate self pity but at times, I wonder why me? Like so many others, I should be grateful and most days I can find a number of things to be grateful for. My huge fear is caring for my kids as a single mom and having stress aggravate my health. The heavy burden that falls on my shoulders often overwhelms me. I am lucky in so many ways but I think the lonliness in moving forward every day is what gets me down.... I am not alone and I guess the forum is a place to have similar souls bear witness...thanks and just need a little support.

You have every right to feel as you do - BC sucks!   And you have more on your plate than most, caring for an aging parent and kids all as a single mom.   But that also tells me how tough you are!   I am sorry you are sad right now - I wish I could help.   I can only relate, as I am very lonely.    I wish good things to come your way :-)

Thank you! It is important to know we are not alone. My loneliness in an empty marriage was worse but the lonliness we face each day with our health fears and the burdens of life is different. I am tough but sometimes i want to be taken care of and just give in, but life and especially my kids push me forward each day. I am the caretaker for everyone like most women! Juggling and making lists. I would like to have bc awareness day plus bc take a break day! :-)
