No family, what do you do

[LJH001]

I'm not looking for sympathy. Just wanting to know what people do when they have no family or family that couldn't care if youre alive or not. I lost mum nearly 16 years ago, my day lives 90 minutes away and if me visiting doesn't fit in with his lifestyle then I can't go so I havent visited in over a year. What's left of mums family just don't care so I have no one. It's starting to get to me, I just want family who want me, want to spend time with me and want to know me. Im 40 this year, have very few friends and if im not at work im at home. I have a fella who I see every other weekend and on the opposite Friday, this cannot change atm. I have a 3 nearly 4 year old but she was born during covid so no mum and baby groups to make mum friends. I just feel so lonely all the time.

Have you thought about joining some groups for meetups with other mum's in your local area there are usually a lot of local groups on social media with women and mum's in the same situation as you.

I can understand where you are coming from I lost my mum when I was young to ovarian cancer and my dad passed away a few years ago.

Even think about support groups that you can meet other people who are in a similar situation so you don't feel so isolated good luck

Thank you for replying. I went to what was supposed to be a mums meet up 2 weeks ago but it was mum's who already knew each other and didn't acknowledge I existed.
