I am a 53 yr old woman who has 3 grown daughters and 7 grand kids . I work full time and very distant from my family seems like no matter what i try i cant please any of my girls which are all grown . I try to not let this bother me and not sure if it is just me or letting anyone get close to me or vise versa but I can tell you I feel alone I like going camping and kayaking and there are times I wish i had someone who enjoyed the same things I do but no luck . I am Married but it has fallen apart because we are so very different filing for a divorce asap . I have lost both my parents and on 1/1/2019 a still born grand daughter not sure how to deal with that or anything else right now I guess Im just grasping at straws I feel as though the past 2 yrs my whole world has been a nightmare and keep wanting to wake up. I know I am not the most beautiful or perfect person but at this time I am so very very lost mentally and emotionally .. Just grasping for my happiness back again ! I WANT TO LIVE LAUGH And LOVE AGAIN !!!
