Hi everyone out there, not sure how or even if this will work but hay why not give it a go... ok so i am 22 years old and i have had a pretty hard couple of years, my parents were very happy together and then literally over night my family was torn apart and my mother has moved to America and gotten married to someone there and my father has moved to the other side of the country, i am about to graduate from University and should be getting ready to start the rest of my life instead i am dreading the new year because i dont know what will happen, i cant seem to think of one positive thing about myself every time i look in the mirror i only see negative things, and i am to affraid to get into any kind of a relationship because i cant imagine relying on anyone...how do i change this? any suggestions anyone out there

You are22 yrs old. You are graduating. You were strong enough to get your education. What your parents do with their life is their concern. Yes you love them, yes they are your parents. BUT, you are not responsible for their happenings. They are. You can still love them and be there, but they have their choices to make. Be supportive of both. This is about them, not you. Get off the pity pot and start looking inside of your self. There are great things there......if you don't waste your time in not looking.

PS.

I think you may be posting this on the wrong board. This one is for cheapskates and big spenders.

From what I have read, you have been through some tough trials. You seem to have something great going for yourself. Graduating from a university is awesome and a positive thing to look forward to, and starting the rest of you life is another positive thing to look forward to. You being concerned about not knowing what will happen or take place is normal, I know the feeling too. What are you passionate about? what is something you would enjoy doing for a career or even a hobby on the side? I think because of what your parents went through, you are not real sure about a relationship because you are afraid the same thing might happen to you. Well, you cannot predict what will happen in a relationship. You just take it one step at a time and one day at a time. Do not rush things. No need to. Just be yourself, enjoy life and stick with your support group of friends and they can be of help as well.
