How do you cope?

[Solonelyy]

Fellow single parents, how do you deal with the loneliness when you don’t have your kids? I have every other weekend free and I am starting to dread them. I have nothing to do and just end up filled with anxiety until my child is back. All my friends are busy with their own lives and don’t have time to socialise when I ask. I feel like I’m slowly dying inside

keep busy? join hobbies, rest? date? i know it doesnt help but i would love eow weekend to myself.

I do Park run. I see friends. I get my hair cut.

I plan things that I can't do easily with DS around such as redecorating a room or shopping for shoes or gardening. I have a long list of things that need doing.

Have you thought about a little part time weekend job? Not just for money but to see other people
