Not many. My sister is coming tomorrow - but emotional things are difficult for her....she's been good to me, practically, since I've been ill.

My daughter, for a long while, but things have changed, she has a job and a new boyfriend and her own health problems - hasn't phoned me since Wednesday.

Two sons and two sisters, though I wish they lived nearer to me.

I know DDs would come to my aid if asked, but I have promised myself that I shall never be a burden to them, so would probably suffer in silence. I am much more comfortable being there for them instead.

My Daughter - my best friend! Although I try not to burden her too much as she's got her own family & worries, but it's a two way street as she knows I'm there for her too.

I have not been there yet.

.... 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'?
