Loneliness
I've been NC with Mom for about 4 months, also not talking to Dad and stepmother(they were always abusive) which is rough because Dad just had a stroke. My brothers are pretty much out of the picture too since they live with Mom. Also let go of an old friend who I was reconnecting with- she tried to reach out to my in-laws(we don't get along) which made me feel I can't trust her. I even cancelled my Facebook acct! I still have my husband and daughter, but I feel pretty lonely sometimes. I talked to my mom almost everyday before this and I miss her a lot. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that I may never talk to her again. I know I'm doing what is right for me and my family, it's just very painful at times. Sorry, just needed to vent.
justbeachy yup sounds like my life in my early twenties. But after I got involved in my church, my own family and schools, my job, things turned around. And it was well worth it. Sometimes it seemed very lonely because I had no connections of any merit with my foo. But I was emotionally disconnected at an early age so I did talk to my my mom occasionally as I had no emotional connections with her and it didn't upset my world to talk to her. I viewed it as my duty.

Thanks, Kialua. It helps to know I'm not alone and it can get better. I know time will make things easier, but right now I feel like I've kicked everyone out of my life. I have good reasons for what I've done I just blame myself a lot. Old habits die hard, I guess.
