How to make more mom friends?

6 replies

Angie1990 · 12/09/2021 00:15

I am a single mother and my oldest son is 12, youngest is 2. All my besties moved out of state. I'm struggling with trying to date , finding accountability partners and woman friendships. I live in Ga and it's very lonely and most of my fam live in Ny. I tried to transfer my job but it was declined because all positions in that area were not hiring. How can I make more friends with other moms? I'm struggling to make time for myself but need more friends... my youngest father and I split because he was abusive to me. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hello there @Angie1990
I'm sorry it's taken a while here to reply to you.
I'm posting from the UK but I had a look online and found this for you. Not sure if you have heard of them? If you click on the link you will find out more about them.

Also, not sure if you are religious? Have you looked at local religious groups of your faith ? Some of them have great childcare support, and events, and are very welcoming.

It's really tough being a single Mom, but wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you, and hoping for better days to come. Really hope that you can get over to NY soon. x

Thank you for information. I'm financially stable. But thank you. I probably should join a church and get acquainted with support group. Most of the children ministries are still closed for my toddler due to COVID-19. But maybe I should start looking at other churches.

Have you thought about joining the PTA?

Join a hobby group for yourself.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will start to look into some of these options and network.

Sorry we are not nearer to you Angie1990. There are meet up groups over here for people who want to build friends.
I don't know if this is the same, but take a look. This is for Atlanta, but there may be something similar near where you are based if you ask them,

You could consider joining Internations as well. You can help expats get to know your city better.
