I am really sorry to hear about your plight. Unfortunately life is really a journey we must all make alone. No matter how many friends and loved ones we are surrounded by (or how few), in the end, we really are individual beings who exist within our own tightly constricted emotional and physical shells. All our experiences, even if they are shared, are truly individual and no one experiences the same thing exactly the same way. This individuality can be liberating of course, but it can also be devastatingly lonely. It is part of what philosophers call The Human Condition. Our own awareness of ourselves and our mortality. We are social animals, but exist individually. While we often cooperate, we are also hard wired through evolution to maximize our own gain at others expense. More food for me means less for you. What you have experienced is the same thing we all do in various facets of life. Although it might take different forms, you see it in the workplace, in school, and anywhere humans compete with one another for status or advantage. Someone will always rise to the top at the expense (often) of everyone else. So, understanding this, knowing it, and accepting it, is the first step in moving ahead. You may very well not have a strong competitive gene. You sound in fact as if you tend more toward cooperation and consensus. It means you will have a harder time, people will take advantage of you as you are probably too trusting and nice. Try to look out for yourself more. Be a bit more self-focussed as a corrective measure. In the end you may end up helping not only yourself but your children as well.

Thanks Hughes.gra, your words are all too true and I thank you for taking the time to offer your kind thoughts ……… and valuable advice …. I’m looking..

hello. I think I’ve lived long enough in this world to realize that life without true relationships are no life at all. We are in our weakest position when we think we dont need anyone else, since we wont be looking for any help. All i am saying is, dont go through this alone. find some friends that could encourage you and offer you help in times of need. although it seems that no one cares, there are people who truly care, and those are the real treasures in your life. a good church would be a good start to make friends. last, when no one can offer help to you, look up.
