Ranting? Heck no, thats not ranting! We have heard it ALL around here.

You may have had your 5 friends move away but you have just found yourself a whole bunch of new friends. It may be only online but we are real live people who care about others and will help support you. Ive been lucky enough to meet many members across the country and they have become my life long friends. We have a special bond that only we understand which makes us like BFF's immediately when we meet. Maybe you live near some other OCF members, never know. You could have a whole group of new pals that you havent met yet.

The more I read of your struggles, the more Im thinking your husband has some issues. Its not fair to you at all. I seriously advise you to have a long discussion with him and explain how trapped you feel. He must start to take some responsibility for his actions and selfishness. Im not saying he doesnt have every right to feel upset, depressed and angry. Those feelings need to be worked thru with a professional. Im so sorry for everything you both are going thru.

Life just isnt fair!
