This is not a pity post as I’ve accepted my lot in life,
widowed, 2 grown up dc and 2 teenagers still at home, one of which is still at school and very difficult. No extended family including parents, all dead etc. I am working but very skint, no child maintenance (their father is unemployed and has also rather pleasantly (not) stopped all contact,
Anyway I’m really rather lonely, has never bothered me much before but I’ve just realised I’ve not spoken to another adult for 7 days (bar my 18 year old, who bless her does try but loves talking about her work all the time). I work term time in one job and I’m now on annual leave from another and I’m dreading it. I do a craft club once a week which is nice and does get me out so there’s that.
im the resident taxi, we live quite rurally and so it’s me who does the driving every day and night just so dd3 can see her friends, she has asd/adhd and if I didn’t drive her she would put herself in risky situations. I also can’t leave her and her sister in the house together alone for long as they would quite literally end up in a fight so I can’t go out much
I can’t wait till school starts again and I can go back to work, and talk to people again, back to routine, and interaction.
Anybody else feel the same? Any ideas too? I’m even thinking of cancelling my annual leave (only a few hours in the mornings) just so I can talk to the lovely people whose offices I clean . 😂 sad I know
