I’m in my early 40’s and have struggled socially for what seems to be the last couple of years.
I have 3 kids who have been my main focus and priority and I guess I’ve kind of forgotten myself.
I have friends in different social circles from growing up, through my DH, work, through the kids etc… but feel over time I have ended up on the outside of them all. I often feel like I’m the one who has to initiate meet ups or try and get the kids together for a catch up etc… and when I try it always seems like everyone is busy doing something or other. I have few plans most weekends and mostly tend to stay in and yet everyone always seems to be doing something or going somewhere. Money is also very tight so hard to do too much sometimes but it would just be nice for once if someone was to think of me and actually want to meet up / do something. I just feel so lonely at times.
I’m not really sure what my point is but guess I’m wondering if anyone else is in the same boat?
