Hello, welcome back, sorry that you're going through such a difficult time. Sometimes you have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life.

Thank you, Randomguy. I’m still here so I guess I’m still fighting. Hope you are well!

Do you have any plans for the future? I know you are not speaking with your family but can you move in with them? At least until the baby is born? I cant imagine this kind of stress is good for the baby.

You said his anger is never directed at you, that's a good sign at least right? Doesn't it show he must at least care about you a little bit?

I don't mean to pry so you don't have to answer me if you don't want to.

I’m hoping to get into a women and childrens shelter here but I’ve been reading some worrying reviews and the shelters don’t have many reviews to begin with. I’ve contacted my grandmother so I’m at least in contact with one family member. I’ll see how it goes. She’s known to hate having anyone stay at her home longer than a week, let alone live

Yes he did care for me, but at this point, he is also having a mental health breakdown for 2 yrs now. He has changed and I’m scared for him too. I’ve found more “peace” alone than I ever did staying in the guest room. He let me stay last night and tonight because the weather is so cold…27 degrees last night.

sorry for the late reply! I have been catching up on sleep, eating, and researching shelters and programs for myself.

Welcome back! I wasn't around when you were first around, so this is actually more of a "hello," but hopefully things work out for you and your situation. In the meantime, stick around and post!

Hello, Ewomack! Thank you so much, I plan to post more… hopefully positive posts in the future.

Welcome back, sorry that the circumstances were not better. Hope you don't mind me pointing our the irony, pregnant yet lonely. However, I hope that works out for you.

Thank you, Colster! I understand. I sound kind of dumb, I know. I’m hoping if my baby makes it I will have a best friend I’ve never had before. Going to have to wait a few years for that though!!

I guess I’m not “new”, but a lot changes in 7 years. Now I’m 10 wks pregnant, going to be homeless again (3x the charm), and still no friends that stuck. The “friends” I’ve made during these years fell off due to break-ups (exes friends), life changes (marriages & children), COVID, or just not being social and only texting through social media. It seems no one cares to actually SPEAK to one another and would rather converse through social media… or memes. I guess I’m too old to hang with the world as it is (35 yrs old in March).

I live in Texas now, so I literally have NO CHOICE and am forced to carry out my pregnancy and raise my baby alone. Texas law (started Sept 2021) states a ban for women to terminate their pregnancies past 6 wks…not even if said woman was sexually assaulted. Most women do not know they are pregnant at 6 wks. The scariest place I never wanted to be in for my child and myself. My family is in California and we do not communicate due to a divide happening with everyone because of the COVID vaccine. Some (me included) got the vaccine, others didn’t, so now everyone is bullying and throwing harsh words to others. I stopped communicating because everyone really showed their true colors and our family will not be the same. That’s such a toxic environment I do not want to be a part of for myself and, now, baby.
So… I’m back here again. Still 7 yrs of loneliness. Things don’t get better even when I’ve tried so d*mn hard, along with medication. Hello.

I am very sorry to hear the whole bit about your family being divided over the vaccine. I find that ridiculous (not YOUR case specifically, but that scenario is more common than most folks realize). Not to harp or be "conspiracy guy", but I feel like this is what the government wants- more divide, more tension, more confusion. But I digress.

I wish you to find the sense of peace that everyone deserves. I also wish for better sense to prevail on all sides and perhaps you will be able to reunite with your family. I don't know who you are, but I am rooting for you.

Thank you for your kind words, Waldo! I really appreciate it. Yes, I’ve had acquaintances say they have cut out some friends in their lives due to not following lockdown protocols! That shocked me. Hard and unsure times are really proving peoples’ “true colors”, example in my own family.

I agree with you, the Media is also responsible for starting to divide us and cause chaos…even racial tensions before the pandemic, as well as now.

I am rooting for you as well!!! I hope you are doing well and are taking care of yourself in these difficult times.
