My mum,dad and two brothers moved to Turkey in October and im really missing them.They lived about 10 min walk away before and i saw/spoke to mum nearly everyday before they moved.
Became single mum in nov and feel so alone.
Also going through court in a custody case to do with 2 of my children.
Just feel my mum and dad are not here for me anymore and my 2 dd's and 2 ds's are missing out on having grandparents.Their dads parents dont see them hardly ever(ds1 and ds2 have a different dad to dd1 and dd2 so have one set of grandparents they see)so dont really have anyone as a grandparent that they can visit.
I do have a sister that lives near by but we dont really keep in contact.
My house and life is a mess!

Ah tortoise, I hope you are feeling better in the morning. It is so difficult when you are separated from your family. It does force you to get out more and establish more friendships. Little by little, give yourself time to meet new people and nuture those relationships. I know it is easy for me to say and so difficult to do it especially if you have always been close to your family. A hobby or distraction is always a comfort too if you have anything that you enjoy doing, even a good book can help. My thoughts are with you.

Sunchowder Not doing too bad today!Trouble is i dont really get out more.I go to toddler group but I find it hard to mix with people when they are all in their own groups and chatting to each other.
