They tell me I need to stop acting overwhelmed and stressed as people don’t want to be around that, and the I am better off without my H, so why am I still not moving on. They say “you are not the first person to have gone through this” and other dismissive things. I have one close GF nearby that I confide in, and I do have a few other friends that do check in on me on a regular basis, but it’s been very isolating and lonely for me. I know I do need to start IC again. And you are right that they may be the best ones to talk to, where others just don’t have the bandwidth or just don’t get it.
Wow--so your brother has the bandwidth to hear a friend's store of woe, but not yours?! That sounds odd. And isolating. An IC can be exactly the thing when you have oodles to say. Although, I'm finding writing oodles to myself can be nearly as effective! And you can always post here. Love hearing your updates, and glad to hear from you after some time. (:
