worried about ending up alone

[c=BF0080][i]my situation is this, i have lived alone 18 years in a tiny apartment on benefits, i'm in my mid 40s now...my only support network is my elderly parents and they live an hours drive away from me...i have not seen my mother or my father since xmas....my mother would usually drive down and visit me and stay with me but she has slowed down a bit with age and is just taking things easy now....i'm not sure when i'll see her again, hopefully at xmas, although she is not committing herself right now..

i'm just scared of a time when my parents won't be around....i have nobody else, never had a partner, because i had mental problems to cope with....i'm worried will i end up completely alone? i don't think i could deal with this if it happened....i mean, i already live a lonely existence with my parents still here.[/i][/c]
