.... when times are bad and you feel you can't take any more? I'm sure many of us have been there, but who do you have to turn to when it all gets to be too much?

I wonder how many of us say 'no one'?

Having said all that up there ^^, GN has just come up trumps in soop's kitchen so I must add to my list the wonderful Gransnetters, who are anything other than invisible and silent when necessary!! flowers

I have relied on myself for many years through some very difficult times and I know I have been see as very"strong" by others and someone who can be called on to fix things and I have always been happy to help if. I could. However last month something awful happened to me which took me right to the edge of being able to cope and I have been overwhelmed by the support given to me by friends, colleagues, and professionals alike. My daughters and my best friend of 50 years have been especially wonderful and I could not have managed without them. No help from my husband whomI am divorcing he is the cause of it all. I say do ask for help when you really need it we all have a breaking point and in January I reached mine

Meant to add one more person before I posted. There is one very lovely lady on Gransnet who I have been private messaging and who has been so sympathetic . You know who you are I send you a big thank you. I find Gransnet immensely supportive on lots of issues and love being on here. Thanks to all!

Twiceasnice, I'm so glad that the lovely people on Gransnet are so supportive to you. I'm so sorry you are going through such a difficult time - I hope you have plenty of 'real life' support too in family and friends. Even strong people need support and arms around them at times, and you are no exception. I wish you continuing strength, courage and love. flowers xxx
