Advice from Annie Lane.
I could have written the letter from “Regretful,” who was sad that she and her husband had left the city and moved into a rural area where she is missing out on so much that had made her life fun. For me, it’s been 12 years of misery. I used to see my daughters and grandkid almost every day, and now I’m lucky if it’s once a year.
My physical and mental health have deteriorated to the point where, at times, I no longer have any motivation to live. My husband knows how I feel but chooses to ignore me; he’s happy here in the Northwoods where he can hunt and ride around on his four-wheeler. I’m 80 years old, and I feel like it’s over for me, but I don’t want my life to end in misery. What can I do?: First off, I’m sorry that you are feeling so alone and isolated. Please reach out for help. You are not alone.
Please tell your husband and your children how you are feeling. There is no reason that you should be feeling this alone and isolated. There are people who love you. Please reach out. There is help. Seek the help of a professional therapist to work through these feelings, if you can. Call your doctor and book a check-up, and see if there are exercises that you can do to boost your physical and mental health.
