alone never,lonely perhaps...
we live in the south ,my hubby is a yankee.I am French .so do the math!!!!
and after the Irak war debacle,it was like walking with a target on our backs..our supposably friends disappeared.our kids were teased at school...
I received blunt remarks from other parents,teachers....and some internet forums too...
so from then on I just kept to myself,and loneliness started to creep in.it is better now,but i don;t get too attached ,and don't care anymore....
