Hi everyone,
I’m currently going through a really difficult time and could really use some guidance and support from those who might have faced similar situations.
A bit about my background: I’m a university student, and my childhood was far from ideal. My parents were always fighting, and my mother often involved me in their arguments, which left me with a lot of emotional scars. Before my father’s tragic death in an accident, he was deeply hurt because my mother was involved in messaging an old friend, which felt like an affair to him. This whole situation was incredibly painful for both of us.
I was just starting to recover and trying to rebuild my relationship with my mother, even though it was hard. But recently, something happened that has completely thrown me off balance again. My mother secretly married a relative of ours without telling me. To make things worse, I found out that my siblings knew about this but chose not to inform me because they were concerned it would affect my studies.
This has reopened all the old wounds and has left me feeling betrayed and confused. Right now, I’m stuck in a place where I can’t focus on anything productive. I know wasting time on unimportant things isn’t going to help me in the long run, but I just don’t have the motivation or energy to pull myself out of this rut.
I’m reaching out here to see if anyone else has been through something similar. How did you cope? How did you find the strength to move forward? Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
