Sometimes it's good to have someone to talk to who isn't involved, isn't going to judge or anything, even if there's not really anything they can actually do. Yesterday I needed it, because I was worried sick about someone I love, and tried the Samaritans, since I didn't know where else to turn at the time. They took a while to answer but they helped. And just writing about things helped too.

Sometimes having someone outside the situation is all you need to make you feel better. I'm glad they helped.
