Hi,
Do you go to toddler groups or other groups with your DD? Could be a good way to make new friends.
It is lonely being a lone parent. But getting out and about does help.

I know what you mean, they can be clicky.
I don't have many friends and no family nearby and it is lonely but luckily with 4 dc I am kept busy.

I found that after having my dd many of my friendships changed (this was before ex left) but I did make new friends eventually at toddler groups but I did feel I had to be persistent. The toddler group in my village I went to for weeks and hardly anyone spoke to me but eventually I struck up a friendship with someone who is now one of my closest friends! Be persistent! Those who are clicky were probably just as insecure as you when they started going.
Good luck!
