Argh! I used to have a really lovely life, loads of friends, really busy, lots going on, but a lot of these were situation friendships I suppose, the school Mums, the football Mums, the excercise class friends, etc etc. However, a lot of these friendships had been going on a long time (maybe 5 years or so) rather than just brief encounters.
Since earlier this year, one by one, something has happened with each group, and none of them related to me. There's been a falling out here (between others) that lead to a general disbanding of one group, a change in circumstances there, that means I don't see these people anywhere near as often, and now I feel like I'm just left with nothing.
Fortunately I have a really lovely home life with DH & DC but I just feel very sad that my once vibrant life has suddenly become really quite small. I'm usually one to make the best of things, but I'm really struggling with this one.
