when you wish you were at home with your mother like in olden times

i'm middle aged now and have lived alone for 20 years in a little apartment.....i have no support network anymore apart from my elderly mother, but she lives far away now, my mother lives in a small bungalow for the elderly...she is driving down to see me at xmas.

i get very lonely and i long for the days, back in olden times when i was young boy living at home with my mother, being looked after? where i felt secure and carefree....we lived in a big house back then with a coal fireplace...and i miss that time, miss that era.......but that time is long gone, and i'm here, in this apartment, on my todd, living a lonely life.....managing mental problems...living in a 'freaky' dystopian world and i can't stand it.

Nothing lasts forever. This too shall pass!
@Bleak ... So then something even worse can come 🤔

@Magicianzini You never know — that’s why we hold on to hope.
@Bleak Hmmm, I prefer to face reality and highly value what I have left now. The rest of my concentration goes towards preparing for what's coming.

@Magicianzini True, but even reality keeps changing — that’s what makes preparation both necessary and uncertain. We all prepare in our own ways. But we can never be so certain that our preparation is spot on.
@Bleak Nothing is perfect.. but "close enough to survive" does exist. 🤣🤣
