You are allowed to be angry. His choice effect you as much as himself. I am there with you i go through so many emotions and been through so much in life that at times i feel like i am i. My 50s and have been told that on many occasions yet only turni g 30 in july. I was in therapy as a teen and i never u derstood why she said that happiness is what you make it. 15 years later and 2 kids i get it. If the worls is falling down around you look at the things you do have. Family and loved ones , food, friends if you havr some. House a job clothes and that you wake up every morning. Many people don’t have that especially during these dark times. I am a firm believer that even if your having a shitty day smile at people bc you dont k ow if tjey are having a worse day and more often then not a friendly smile can mean the world to someone. There is a show on netflix called 100 people and they did an experiment about happiness. And apparently psychologically you can make yourself a little bit happier if smile. The muscles in your face help trick your mind i to assuming your happy and release endorphins. So even if your hurting and u want to cry or scream take time to evaluate those fwelings. Feel them and then smile at the blessings you do have

Thank you. I really needed that today. I only found this website today and it’s truly saved me from myself. Completely understand feeling older than you truly are- takes its toll- but nice to know that someone is with me. I’m gonna definitely check out the 100 on Netflix and try some of your techniques, I guess it’s hard sometimes to take a breath and think when your mind is just racing, especially during these times. Hope you and your children are keeping safe during these times as well.

Thank you again for your kindness 🙂
