Lady I hear you and I totally relate...I used to think there were 2 kinds of people: the ones who comes to us for advice, the ones who need a shoulder to lean on when everything in their lives go wrong, the ones who need someone to listen and always lend an ear because let's face it, that's some of our best work, we are also there to pick up the pieces for everyone else except ourselves and 2-us. I don't think that way anymore because of what I have seen in my life just this year. So what happens when we need to vent and we need to be the strong ones at the same time? We look around and it's just us and GOD. Noone else is there, but GOD. So, That is who I have always turned to in those times, and the good thing about GOD is that you can say ANYTHING and He will listen and listen and keep listening, and you can vent all you want and will always be in good hands. You will let it out and cry and scream and throw some fists in the air and God is still there and has not gone anywhere. Anytime you need God, God is always there. that is why we are never truly alone. God is always there, no matter what. So let the others rant and rave, and let everyone else fall to pieces. You cannot help them if you are joining them. But now there is one other option. You can come here and vent and rant and rave and scream and cry and we will lsiten and will always be there for you :)
I hope this helps you in some way, I just felt to share this from my heart, I don't know how solid the advice is, but I do understand where you are coming from.
Bless your heart! Stay strong!
Eve :)
