I am a 43 year old single Mother to a precious 7 year old daughter. I am successfully overcoming alcoholism, but isolation from the outside world is becoming very stressful. I live with my Father who is the best, but emptiness still overwhelms me daily. I drive my Fathers truck, but my privelages have been revoked by him until he sees long term improvement. I am not angry with him, but being stuck at home day in and day out is getting the better of me. I see my daughter a good bit, depending on the week and her Fathers mood. I have family members who often have my daughter without letting me know about it. These same people claim to love and be supportive of me, but I'm not feeling it when they do this. I am a happy, outgoing person who made some mistakes. I pray and trust fully in my God. The thing I'm fearing is that I have or will get so used to this isolation that I will shut down and shut out the world altogether. Simply getting out and going to the store with my Father sends me into a panic and I have to think of a reason that I don't want to go. I feel that this is a dangerous and unhealthy way to live. I have very few people to talk to. I know God is all I need, but a little help here on Earth would be nice once in a while. I don't want sympathy, just prayer and understanding. My daughters life is upside down because of my mistakes, but she still loves me unconditionally. I would give anything for God to reunite me and her Father so that she could have the stable life that she deserves. We were never married, but my heart won't let me give up hope for the future. Prayers are greatly needed and appreciated.
