That is so sad. And it's also what I fear will happen to me.
I have never been married but had a relationship with someone I'd rather not think about too much anymore. Therapy helps. It would have been so wonderful, I think, to have a loving relationship. That's what I looked forward to when I was young anyway!
You write that when you go to groups you don't feel they make you feel welcome. Why is that, is it because you expect others to make you feel good in the group, being a natural wall flower maybe? Or is it because you don't feel you belong?
When I went to groups I would usually end up alone close to the wall, or I would sit somewhere and start drawing, or look around. I was hardly ever spoken to. The strange thing is that this also happened during Summer holidays: I would usually go out alone and take a book or sketching pad, and have a drink on my own. Some guys would usually be interested but I was not into what they were into 😀 I must say that I actually had some friends, come to think of it, in that past: guys who were simply nice and with whom I corresponded after that Summer holiday, for years! But then life happened and we lost track of one another. I do remember them fondly though.
It's sad that you lost contact with your youngest son. Do you have other children? I always wanted to have children, I never had them, sadly.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. To clarify, I have not lost contact with my son, but the relationship it not a warm one. I do have another son and we have a warm, loving relationship. As to groups, I really don't know why I go there alone, feel alone, and leave alone. I do not expect them to make me "feel good." I just want some friendliness. I sometimes feel I have a mark on my forehead that everyone can see except me which says Do Not Have Anything To Do With This Person. I did start searching on line and I found an article about Psychopathic Loneliness. All the symptoms seemed to fit me. I also have had some friends, but almost all of them are dead now. Unhappily that's what happens when you live a long time. I must just have to get used to being alone.
