Zenny, I know we only just met, but I empathise, really I do.
Those of us with depression and/or bi-polar disease do not have an easy row to hoe, nor do those around us. But, the flip side of the coin is, most creative people are at least a little "touched by fire". If not for those who "feel" to a greater degree, there would be little to no art, music or poetry.
I do understand all you say about having all the responsibilities with none of the benefits of a relationship. I have been there and done that in my past. That also is an all too familiar song from many others I know as well.
To confirm something you said, yes, hon... there are people out there capable of dealing with those like us. I am so sorry that you are finding that she could not.
SL has been a life-saver for so many of us, hon. You're not alone there either. It's given many a place to go and recoupe some of what we've lost in our day to day lives.
I am truly and deeply saddened to see this happen to so many, but am *very* grateful to SL for providing us all with a place to go to try to fill some of the voids we experience in our lives.
