Okay so I have had one of those weeks from h#$l honestly it started last Friday and today i just started to decompress and just needed to explode or cry, I called my best friend we had our own little "pity party" as we call it we just lay it all out there it might not even make any sense but each gets her turn to just vent. I feel better like I just lost that weight off my neck. So who do you call does everyone have that one friend that you call and just let it go?

What can I do next?

No body =(
I would come my mom but she lives in Mexico and I don't like to worry her and she worries easy when is about us.
Husband is traveling all week, and not always know when is ok for call so normally text him but then he worries and try to call me and gets in trouble.
Friends I have are from my older daughter school so I don't like to tell them my troubles because I don't know if they would tell their daughters, sigh.
So most likely I will be here (mamapedia) finding ways to make me feel better and useful, I guess that I why I don't mind the JFF questions, many times have made my day more happy.

No, I really don't. I need one. I am a born again believer and I believe whole heartedly that God brings is through or around most every problem. I work very hard everyday to try and do all the right things. But I can't control people and I can't control situations. Yet somehow I feel like if I complain or show worry that people will think God is slacking or that I'm not a good enough Christian. I am not all that close to anyone outside of my life, and I work so much that I can't use my daycare parents as a sounding board.

If anyone is interested in an email friend that we can do this for, I'm game.

I tell my husband, or my mom usually. My husband is really sweet and he has a wonderful way of just listening when I ask him too and not judging or making my feelings "personal" to him. I am a lucky woman! I used to go to councelors to do that, but sometimes you don't need "fixing" when you are upset!

It is sometimes really good for the soul to just get it all out. I had a "cry fest" the other day and I have felt so much better since! Mine was equal parts stress, season (sun come back!) and pregnancy... lol! Whoever it is who acts as that "shoulder" for you to cry on is a special person indeed!

I wish! I used to be able to talk with my husband but the last year and a half, he's turned into someone I don't know anymore. If he can't 'fix it', he doesn't want to hear it. It's getting a bit tough. For instance, just learned a friend of mine, her husband and their dog were murdered. He doesn't want to hear it and when I got the news, he walked away. I, of course, broke down and every once in a while the pain takes over. He used to be my best friend. We will 'celebrate' 35 years in a month.

My husband. I always call him whenever I feel bad, depressed, sad, any negative thing. He always seems to make me feel better. He is a great listener and even when he is working, makes time to hear me out. He is very understanding and compassionate.

Usually I vent to my sister, but that last time I was in your position where I was ready to explode, I got my bill from Best Buy and they messed up my bill and were trying to charge me over $800 in back interest. It was the last straw in a very long week and I called and broked down on the phone. The lady on the phone talked me off the edge and really made me feel better. She also fixed the problem with my credit card right away, which probably made it easier to help me that day.

I am fortunate enough to have several friends that I have known since high school that I can go to with anything, even if its to cry and them hold my hand and cry with me. I also am blessed with a husband I can talk to and one sister that doesn't care if I call at 3 am. ( my hubby sleeps like a dead thing) It is wonderful to have people who I love and love me, they give me strength to get through the hard times and laugh with me through the good.
