An individual expresses deep feelings of betrayal after his wife of 50 years insists on separation without prior conflict. He lives isolated in their summer home, has no social contacts, and feels abandoned by their children, who have sided with his wife. He struggles with mobility issues at 74 and worries about future living arrangements due to financial constraints. Despite attending therapy, he feels he hasn't received adequate support in processing grief and understanding the situation, leading to feelings of helplessness and confusion.
I am currently living in our summer home with no friends or social contacts/networks. I am miserable. I think she has poisoned them against me.
As soon as we had children, she was able to stay at home and lived comfortably raising our children and taking care of the household.
I fear that I will fall, and no one will be around. Senior housing for me is too expensive and will deplete our planned retirement resources.
Without more concrete information, my therapist cannot help me. I am not a bad person, yet here I am.
