text: if i have a problem, how can i deal with it? everyone comes across small problems in thier lives, i think that because my dad has left to spain, i never see my mum and my grandparents are not there for me i am unsure of how to deal with thing. i dont have many friends, i think this is due to me being gay and people dont like that. my question is how do i tackle any problem in life. i understand that different situations can change the way to deal with things but surely there is a way of thinking about everything and deciding what to do properly? thanks alex xx get a therapist, they are good listeners and often have pearls of wisdom to impart.
