[quote=Anonymous]Hi DCUM, A dear old friend reached out to me. I am looking for stories of women at mid life, whose lives totally fall apart and how they build them back together. I’m asking for these stories so that I can draw on them to help my friend. I don’t know how this happened, but she is in financial ruin, lost her partner, and is trying to rebuild her life after a serious mental health crisis. I know DCUM readers will want lots of juicy details, but I don’t have them. The friend has is a low paying job and a reliable car. What can she draw on from here to rebuild her mental health, and find a way to move out from an abusive boyfriend? She hesitates because she is afraid to live in a shelter. Again, if you can share stories that are similar, I hope these might help me brainstorm solutions for her. I want to also add that I realize that mental health challenges which may or may not include addiction may make her situation extremely difficult. [/quote]
