Feeling lonely living alome

[Mommy2onexxx]

Does anyone else feel lonely just living with yourself and your child . I feel like the days pass so slowly even if we go out coming back home to nobody feels well grey and dull

Sometimes but he is taking so long to go to sleep now I’m actually craving evening alone time! How old is your child?

I’ve been a solo parent since ex husband left when twins were babies and eldest barely into reception
I find it incredibly lonely - I do work full time and I’ve been in my job for over a decade so long standing colleague relationships but it’s overwhelming in the evenings and weekends - i try To keep busy but there is still an emptiness there x

Solidarity OP. Same. 90% of the time I’m absolutely fine; busy with the kids and happy in my own solitude. But yesterday was a wobble kind of day. We’d had a lovely time, gone to kids training, had a walk, got home, did lunch and all the housework, my mum came to visit for a couple of hours and then when the little one was in bed and the big one was in her room having a sleepover it just hit me that I’d really, really like some company of my own to just unwind with and have a little physical affection with for the evening.

It always passes at some point and I find it’s a lot worse in the winter because summers are more active and busy therefore distracting. And have to remind myself that even if I did/when I do meet someone, it’ll still be years before the casual domesticity increase can happen which depending on mood either makes me cry or reassures me 🙃

My loneliest time of day is waking up in the morning. Nobody to ever bring me a cup of tea in bed, or give me a quick cuddle before getting up and being in Mum mode for the rest of the day. I’ve been on my own for years, and overall find it calmer and easier than with rubbish manchild men around…but yes, every morning loneliness hits for a second. (Parents have passed away so can’t ever get a cuppa from them on a visit either…this is probably what makes me loneliest tbh)

She is three and speech delayed which I think makes it harder , I like the furthest from my family it’s just abit crap

@Mommy2onexxxthe lack of family nearby would kill me too.. is there any way you can get physically closer to them?

Hello all of you lonely mums, do you go to church or use a good bank , may next time drop a note saying single mothers would like to meet for coffee and chat in food bank or local park or church as they all seem to be used for multiple things nowadays, just an idea from a single mother xx

I say give it a try if you can you may meet a good friend who lives near you to meet up weekly with you and the kids and have adult children sleepovers together , all mums together, just a thought you must put yourself out there for you and your children xx
