Who do you have to turn to for support when you need a shoulder to cry on?!


Question: I have my friend/mentor Kristina, my psychiatrist, my counselor, & my case manager. Too bad I don't have my family. They make my problems worse.


Answers: I have my friend/mentor Kristina, my psychiatrist, my counselor, & my case manager. Too bad I don't have my family. They make my problems worse.

I usually call my mother. But she is not always supportive of me because she has her own issues.

I don't have any friends or other family members to call on when I need support or advice. Perfect example: I made the mistake of trying to talk to one of my so-called friends when my grandmother (aka my second mother) was dying. She told me she would not be there for me because it's going to remind her of when she loses one of her parents one day. She didn't want to deal with this situation. (WTF?). I just wanted someone to talk to because I'd never lost someone so close before. I mean, hello we'll all experience it at some point. Some friend. But she really has been the most unsupportive. Even co-workers expressed more sympathy than her.

It's really important to have people. I go through life holding in my problems because I have been burned by so many people in the past. I feel it's just safer to pretend that everything's fine- even when it's not. It's good that you have your best friend. All you need is one trustworthy person and you'll be fine.

Sorry your family is not there for you...I turn to my husband.

no one and you are so right, family does make things worse. most of my problems come from them.

umm my girl friend is always there for me and im there for her

well... i always turn to my friends because a counsler will just treat you like another client

I would suggest your friend Kristina.

i have a few people to turn to, my husband, mom, sisters, my niece, and a really good friend who is always there to listen, i'm sorry your family isn't there for you, if you need someone to listen, just give me a shout. be thankful for your friend!!!!!!

Since I live alone and my 2 sisters are distant, I turn to God.

your probably one of many...i have my hubby...sometimes family just does'nt get it....sometime society doesn't get it.....our world would be a heck of a lot better place if there was more compassion.....human life doesn't seem to mean awhole lot any more....

god..i only turn on Him because He's the only one I believe and pay respect..after that, my diary...

damn i feel bad for you i have my cousin and my bf

Sorry to hear your family isn't always there for you. I usually turn to GOD first, and family second.

A lady who was my aunt (married to my uncle and they divorced) and she is always a good listner. Once in awhile my cousin, or boyfriend.
