From my contact with others on here, I think that what I (we) experienced is unfortunately fairly common.
I guess most people just don't really understand how just that phone call or text would make such a big difference.
That is why I found the support of 'friends' on here was so helpful. You just don't really understand unless you are going through something similar.
It was harder for my girls and my husband though. We have worked through it though and even now they are finding connections with new people in their lives who have experienced similar things with someone close.

We are different people now and some relationships from before bc are stronger, others have weakened. There are lots of new ones too! I prefer to move forward rather than dwelling on what I cannot change. So do my girls and hubby! :) Deanne xxx
