[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 709090, member: 16761"] Irish, Just wanted to comment on your statement about trying to talk about this to friends and it making it worse. I have a coworker friend who just retired and moved away. She was always someone I could talk to without judgement I thought, but maybe I just didn't hear it. We've tried to keep up with texting but it's getting hard. She texts me about new house, grandkid (who she moved to be near) issues, generally happy events. And I text back with horror stories. She's getting impatient with it I think. She's developed quite a distaste for my son who she has never met, and I guess I have fostered it. Texts are just so black and white, and it's made me feel so much worse about my situation seeing it thus. She asks about it, though and I indulge. I guess it's like rubber-necking at a car accident or something... ughh. I'm glad you guys are here! [/QUOTE]
