How is it possible to be around other woman who have husbands with sex addictions and feel like no one understands you?
Someone explain to me how this is even possible.
Because it's how I feel.
And I hate it.
Loneliness is an awful feeling.
An awful empty feeling.
Loneliness is such a soul-crushing feeling. I am well acquainted with it. I've been learning that I'm not really alone, but I still feel it too often. I'm sorry you are feeling it. Love you, friend.
ReplyDeleteCrissy, it is a soul-crushing feeling. It is where all hopelessness lives and it is awful. I am so happy I have you as a friend and a support because sometimes our little "group" makes me feel less alone. Love you.
DeleteI've felt that loneliness many times, even when surrounded by loved ones. I'm sorry you've been feeling alone. Call me any time, sista!
ReplyDeleteKilee, thank you for relating. Loneliness is such a curious feeling when we are in a room full of loved ones. I adore you and don't know what I would do without you.
DeleteIt is possible because no one but the Savior can fully understand you. Even within the tightest and safest groups of friends, you will find that no one has been exactly where you are. And that is scary sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIt's scary to think that because of this addiction, you find a safe place and you start hearing stories where marriages succeeded and stories where they failed and you wonder where you will end up and how happy you will be when you end up in tha place. You worry about each and every decision because it could make or break you and your family.
Loneliness is where Satan wants us to be because it is where he lives.
I know you know you aren't ever alone but I also know that it is possible to feel alone in a crowded room full of people you trust. I am there a lot of the time. I hate it. I try to fight it but sometimes loneliness is consuming and we begin to wonder if we really fit in and whether these people really love us and how much they really understand.
Nobody can fully understand you...but we can love you. And you will always be loved.
My dearest Suzanne, thank you for the reminder. Sometimes I have a hard time imagining and convincing myself that The Savior has felt my exact loneliness, just like I feel it, or worse. It's something I logically understand, but emotionally, it is hard for me to digest. But thank you. I am hoping to strengthen my relationship with Our Savior so that I can never feel alone. Or at least not completely alone. Love you.
DeleteHi , my name on here is only anonymous , ( because I am slowly learning this computer url stuff) But I soo get what you are saying / feeling about how even feeling close to the Savior of our soul seems like a distant memory . How did I once feel so close , even cherished. I KNOW it in my head , but feeling would be so great too. Guess this is the spot for faith , and trusting my Heavenly Father will give extra points for the ones who trust only from faith in His Words - alone. Translate earthly " points " to GRACE. I am counting on it , holding him to it. Because He ALONE is faithful . I sure like your blog , thanks for writing what so many are feeling , it helps !
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment! I love what you have written. It brings peace to my heart and my situation. We are not alone.
