Life is all about the fork in the road choices. The ones we didnt make only come back to haunt if we made the wrong one. A few can be repaired. But most cant. That time is past. In the end, we are where we are now. Your only real option in to draw a line under it at this point and make your next choice wisely, with a longer term view.. After all, Today really IS the first day of the rest of your life..😷

Hugs. I feel for you. I suffer from extreme lonliness. So I feel for you. You sound like a very genuine person. I hope a healthy friendship finds you.

I think one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to grieve is a life I never got to have. People think grief is only about losing someone, but sometimes you’re grieving the childhood you deserved, the love you needed, the family you wished for, and the version of yourself that could’ve existed if things were different.

Living with a terminal illness from a very young age I can totally 200% relate. I know exactly how it feels. I had a decent childhood actually till 11 years old when I lost all that and everything got weird. I would give those first decent years away to someone who needs them more than I do since the rest is shit anyway.

I grieve for the person I'll never be .I'm ok with who i am but I'm not who i was supposed to be .When the abuse started a little boy died just the same as if he'd been shot dead . I grieve for him.

Probably doesn’t help, but I can relate. I feel like so often I feel like if I got the proper opportunities in the past my life would be so much better.

I wish I could help you. I wish I could wrap my arms around you in a fatherly bear hug to help protect you from all that is evil.
But, since I can't, please check out "CalvaryDelran.com" & look around. Watch a service or two. I believe there is something there for you.
God Bless You.

You’ve expressed all of this very nicely.
I could almost see the single tear at the corner of your eye as I read it.

Life is hard and unfair.
More to some of us than others.

I share many of those same issues and relate much more strongly to this post than I wish.

Be well

grief can be about many things including being disregarded and overlooked and undervalued and dissincluded in things .. it's also a loss and an absence of love and acceptance and value and recognition and a legit source of loneliness and emotional pain
