Have spent the whole weekend visiting family but feel like I just don't 'fit' at all. They don't get it. My Dad basically blamed me for my husband leaving, saying that treating husbands badly was 'a family trait'. Wonderful. The others proclaimed that my life was now much better now that husband has gone!!!! What planet are they on? Nobody actually asked how I am at all. My sister just goes on about her life and her wonderful children and how fabulous her summer holiday is going to be and so much of it touches a raw nerve. Particularly the children bit. We had agreed to start trying for kids and about a week later he ran for it! I would love to have a family who actually had the emotional intelligence to support me rather than wound me, but I guess not. So, back to the safety but horrible loneliness of my little flat...There are times when I feel absolutely and completely alone in this.

No, no , no, no, noooooooo
have you been reading the post over the weekend, it hasn't been a good one for most of us, so your not alone there. Personally i have to keep my family at arms length away from my ex so as to avoid big trouble. Family do funny things when this happens and it appears to change your relationship with them, maybe temporarily. I think they really don't know what to say to you, so perhaps filling in the gaps with inane stuff. My own sister is about as sensitive as a wooden plank, supportive in her own way but clueless when it comes to my feelings unless i spell it out to her, perhaps you could do this with your sister and maybe she would understand. You need your real friends to talk to and maybe your virtual ones as well so that you'd know you are definitely not on your own.
Take care
