Not really sure why I’m writing this but feel like I need to get my feelings out.
I have a 16 month old daughter who I adore but I’ve found the past couple of years so lonely. We moved to a new area just prior to lockdown and moved again for my husbands work just before my daughter was born. My husband works a lot, didn’t take any paternity leave and this has just continued since she was born. When she was 4 months old we started baby groups and although I initially found it hard I made a handful of friends
my family and old friends live 150 miles a way so we don’t see them much and several of my friends have been distant despite me trying to reach out. My dad is currently having chemo so we haven’t been able to see my parent as my daughter is currently in nursery and full of germs.
in the past few weeks the friends I have made here have seemed distant and not replied to messages. Usually I would just let this go but it feels that it has pushed me over the edge and I’m feeling rejected and unwanted.
