Feeling Lonely!

I split up with my husband in November 2023, honestly it was the best thing that happened to me. I don't miss him, I'm not sad. I finally get to live my best life and forget about the 12 wasted years with him

HOWEVER

I'm really sodding lonely! I have my daughter 5/6 days out of the week including nights. I wouldn't want him to have her any more than he already does (he's a terrible dad and she's just better off being at home with me) but I'm at home alone in the evenings once she's in bed so I can't go out and do a hobby, I'm self employed and don't see any human adults during the day. My friends have their own lives and kids and husbands to deal with. I just don't know how to get out of this funk I'm in. My parents don't live close and my dad is very unwell so they can't come and visit.

Has anyone got any advice or can think of something I can do? I feel like I need some input from you clever bunch. Thank you xx

An online book club - check out Shelf Help

An online live yoga class - check out Peace Love Yoga or the Frog Project

Maybe a Friday evening out with DD, out for tea and cinema, rather than another evening at home

Does your DD do any hobbies where you could go and watch and get chatting to some of the other parents? Maybe she could join rainbows/brownies and you could volunteer

Make plans on a weekend to see friends

A regular hobby out of the house when DD is at her Dads
