Hi,
Well I have a legal battle going on with my former husband, going through solicitors, but even that got too much for me and now my sister is going to handle it.
So here I sit feeling totally use less and defeated cause I couldn't deal with it myself. Due to all the stress an eating disorder that was in the past has reared its ugly head , making things even harder....grrrr.....
just want to opt out at the moment.....

You're not useless and defeated. You are getting help from your sister - you are wise. Just because you can't do a thing yourself doesn't make you useless. Sometimes life is overwhelmingly negative. Don't blame yourself. You need a break. Nevermind the food disorder - not forever but just for a time - take solace where you can find it. And please respect the magnitude of the problems you are facing! Take care of yourself.

I hope things get better for you in the future. Like everybody else said, take very good care of yourself.

Thanks Claradoon, you make some good points. I will try and take care, and respect that this is a very hard time for me.
Thanks for you reply and good wishes CockneyRebel.

I have an eating disorder too so I know what you mean. I would love to leave those behaviours behind me but I dont know how I can at the moment.

I dont think you are to blame for not being able to handle that court case by yourself. Court cases are massively stressful, even NTs have difficulty coping with them.

Take care of yourself. (((((((hugs)))))))
