The councellors at the other end of the phone don't know you, so they're unlikely to pass judgement.... there's no reprisal for you with a stranger, and you can always put the phone down if you feel threatened. I'm glad you didn't though..........

And don't forget that telephone councellors have training that you and I don't have, and I wouldn't hesitate to use the service again if I felt the need.
Megveg, Koala77 speaks the truth. You are not alone, and your situation is not unique.
Whoever you are -- I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.

Heart Once you communicate

Meg, it is so good to know you opened up to "a random stranger on the phone" for you see, strangers are no more once communication has begun. That person with whom you have opened up is in your sphere of the known. It is why those lines of comm are there when it is foggy and your aircraft needs to be talked to ground or...... when NT is down.

So glad you called, so glad you called.

Hi megveg,

Sorry to hear that things are still not going well. But so glad to hear you reached out for help, and have been... I hope they gave you some good advice, it sounds like it by your post. Hopefully in the future, you won't give up either and will continue reaching out for help. If you ever need anything, you can always PM me too or email.
