Anyone else feel invisible? Im a single mum to an amazing nearly 16 year old but I sort of feel invisible. I have some lovely friends but it can feel really one sided - they are all in relationships or have big families and don't tend to include single friends in their get togethers. There will be lots of "we must get together" messaging but they are understandably busy. I don't seem to have that fun core group of female friends - possibly because my ex was military and when we split I lost that community/I do short term contract work so am never anywhere very long, and when my daughter was smaller we didn't live locally to the schools so I didn't make other mum friends that I have then grown with. I only have one sibling who lives a long way away and my Mum is a massive victim, nothing is ever good enough, very two faced all "thank you so much darling!" to your face and running everyone down behind their backs. I feel like I need to break the circle of groundhog day before my Mum becomes so old that she needs constant care and my opportunity of a fun fulfilled life is gone. I have made some good decisions and have investment property and a job that doesn't tie me down to one place but good friends just seems like the missing piece of the jigsaw....
