Thank you so much we decided to rent out our large home now that our children our moving out as adults and we are renting a house 7 houses from my parents a smaller home I don't have to clean as much and my mom is my best friend so she drives I am not aware enough to drive any more and she's retired so her and I have fun playing and shopping she is so happy I live a few doors away and I love seeing her happy so I almost never feel lonely but unfortunately I am still scared not really scared about what happens I know if it counts I am a very good person I know I never purposely hurt anyone except 1 girl I got in a fight with in 8th grade I still very sad I hit her I think I am scared of being sure children are safe from this dangerous world and I don't want people to be sad about me dying

hi Melissa Ann.

congratulations on your good move; being closer to your mom will be helpful.

I relate to your fear.  mostly, I'm content with my lot but every once in a while  I'm stricken with a frightening flash of fear.

I mostly deal with it by taking some deep breaths and turning my thoughts elsewhere.

same thing for regret.   we all make mistakes and have to learn how to forgive ourselves.

trust you're doing the best you can.

and

everything changes.
