I have no idea what to say, how to explain what these horrible feelings are that I can't seem to compartmentalize into something manageable. When I try to define them to myself they just sound totally pathetic, ridiculous, and pointless.
THEY AREN'T. You are in a crappy situation, with a mom who depends on you, a son who depends on you, an ex who won't help you out with the time of day. OF COURSE you are overwhelmed.
It will be VERY good to go and vent. To be able to be vulnerable with someone instead of trying to be strong all the time. We all need a break, a shoulder, some help sometimes. And you are not super-human as much as you try. So go, and talk, and vent. And then go back.
You mentioned cost a couple posts ago, I thought this was through your church? What about talking to your pastor instead?
