My First Journal Entry

[Junglejane280]

I am sitting in my living room, watching, tv, surfing the net and reading posts on CafeMom.  I have been depressed and sitting at home as much as possible.  I can't believe that I have turned 40 and I am no where that I want to be in life.  I read about the beautiful babies that people have and miss my daughter and new granddaughter so much.  I feel so out of touch from my 17-year-old son.  I just feel like I am struggling to get out of a hole while everyone and everything keeps throwing dirt on top of me.  I know if I had a better outlook on life, I would probably be able to handle things better.  I pray to God and look for answers, but I am just not seeing the answers.  I am a single mom, still in love with my ex, who does not care and has not cared for me for a while.  I found out he has remarried and I just feel lost.  Maybe tomorrow will be better.
