Parent loss and no village
Just a rant really but I’ve been really struggling since I’ve lost both of my parents, I lost my mum when I was 17 and my dad December 2025, I genuinely have never felt so lovely, I’m estranged from my family for personal reasons and to protect my mental health too so I only have my partners mum and sister, I just feel like I’ve been so lonely for so long, it really gets to me and I’m not sure how to deal with or express this to my partner as he doesn’t really understand.
I don’t really have any friends either as I get so overwhelmed and forget to check my phone and reply and they just don’t speak to me after that, I think I just need to scream you know.
I think I’m just missing my dad some extra this week as it gets closer to my birthday.
Anybody else ever feel somewhat similar to this?
i need a bestieeeeee
I just want one best friend.
Not someone who’s only around when it’s convenient or someone I have to question all the time. I want the kind of friendship where we become family. The kind where one day I can honestly call you my sister.
A little about me—I’m 20 years old and a stay-at-home mom to my beautiful daughter, Amara. She’s my whole world. I have a huge heart, and sometimes I care a little too much. I’m loyal, I love hard, and I’ll always be there for the people I care about. I’ve been through a lot, so it takes me a little while to fully trust people, but once I do, you’ve got me for life.
I love Stitch, Hello Kitty, arts and crafts, being outside, deep conversations, late-night drives, and making memories with the people I love. I can be shy at first, but once I’m comfortable, you’ll probably have a hard time getting me to stop talking.
I don’t want a huge friend group. I just want one genuine person who stays. Someone who checks in, laughs with me, cries with me, hypes me up, lets me vent, and never makes me feel like I’m too much. I want the kind of friendship where we choose each other every single day.
If you’re looking for that too, maybe we can become the sisters we never had. 🤍
