Hi Sk8,
It's Rusty, your 49-year-old single, white, female MWO friend. I can empathize with your position....but believe me, you see couples together, but that my friend, does not mean they are HAPPY! I was in a long-term relationship that wasn't happy and I put on a lot of appearances, so don't let that throw you.
You have a new lease on life because you are sober and you have that beautiful little boy.
I know you feel alone. I have been in your shoes a few times as I have had 2 men break up with me right before 4th of July and I just wanted to die I felt like such an outcast. Everyone was barbequing, boating, sailing, etc., and I was just a reject because I had been dumped.
I am here to tell you that you are not a leper in the eyes of anyone here at MWO. Your threads, posts, thoughts and deeds are nothing but kind and thoughtful. You have helped many people here with your candor, sensitivity and honesty.
Move forward today with the fireworks of sobriety and the love of your son...which is second to none, and with the thought that without even knowing it, you continue to be a bright light of many people here at MWO.
Try to enjoy your day, and knowing you, you will perform some kind act today for someone who will reach out to you, and you will help that person (knowing you), and then you'll say, "Damn, it was worth it!"
xoxoxo
Rusty
