so sorry......

Hi Sam! Please try to find someone there you feel safe with that you can talk to and tell how you're feeling. This site is great and we have a lot of special people here but it can't really replace having someone you can go to. Don't worry dear, it will all work out. Just don't forget who you are. And take care of yourself.

Sam....You are a wonderful person, and remember that there will always be someone here for you. (Forgive me tonite if some of my words don't make sense, I'm having difficulties typing tonite!). My best-friend-since-kindergarten's parents split up when we were in grade 6, (I was 11 at the time, she would have been 12), and I didn't know what she was going through and she wouldn't really talk to me about it, and then she moved away and I have seen her a few times, but not a lot. Anyways, I'm here for you if you need an ear!!! I wish you the best, and I'll keep writing to you ok? I don't know if you are a believer in God or not, but this verse helps me out a lot!!! My very good friend gave it to me when I needed help:

Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go"

There are a few more I have if you find peace in them....

Love Pam

Hey Sam,
You did not tell your Aussie Aunts you were only 13 and your story. Sorry to hear that about your parents but honestly it is not a reflection on how they feel about you and it will get better as time goes by. Your cyber Aunts here give good advice....you feel free to pop in and unburden your self in cyber space as often as you want and do set up a couple of trustworthy friends locally.

It will be ok - you will see as time goes by.

Thank you Sessejela!!! For the PM, I have replied.

Thank you Shell for the Hugs!

Thanks Tammie, I like your style and approach on life and your messages always mean something to me

Thanks Pam, I was again reduced to tears by your sweet,sweet message, the verse was very sweet thanks for sharing.

Thank you Heather, my aussie aunts , Thanks aso for your message...

Love Sam.

I am so sorry you are having such a rough time Sam. Just remember we are your family and we are here for you anytime you need us.
Can you stay with your Gran for a bit?

Thank you Ady, I feel like TCS is my home/family as well

I will be staying with my Nanna for awhile , It's ok, I love her 'n all but less time at TCS..LOL

Thank you everyone!

Hi Sam,

Enjoy your time with your Nana. I miss mine terribly. She's been gone for many years now. But thank God you still have your Nana to be there for you!

Sam consider us as your big extended family. I will miss you a lot and hope that you will find some way to stay in touch with us. Please take great care of yourself and try to find some Sam Time within the chaos that surrounds you right now.

You are a treasure my friend-


BIG Hugs! ((((((((())))))))))))

Oh Sam!



You have so many friends here and so many who care about you... as everyone else has said, we're here for you to turn to!!!!

My hubby's parents got divorced when he was six, and his Dad got married three more times after that. At 8 he ran away from home and made it from Chicago to Denver! At 15 he left home. He had no adults in his life to turn to, and he hung out with a gang of thugs and got involved with drugs. In the end, the only way he changed his fate was by joining the army.

Please don't let this happen to you! You are way way way way way way to smart for that, sweetie!!!!!!! In so many ways you are so far beyond your years... and that probably just makes it harder on you, not easer. But it doesn't matter how old you are when something like this happens... it hurts and it's difficult. But when you don't already live on your own, it causes even more turmoil. My heart aches for you, and please feel free to lean on all of us or any of us as you see fit! I'm so glad your nana is there for you. ...and even if you don't get much time to spend on TCS, please make sure you get plenty of time with your kitties!!!!

We love you Sam, and don't ever feel sorry for needing a shoulder ... or for needing to vent. We all need, and we're here for each other.

Laurie I'm so sorry to hear what happened to Gary

Thank you both for your sweet words!!!

Hang in there....

sending ((((hugs))) your way, so sorry you are going through this, please try and keep your head up high, and hope that things will get better.
