Just feeling alone

[turquoiseamethyst]

DH left (at my request/instruction) almost 4 weeks ago now and I don't want him back, ever.

But I feel so lonely. I think I'm at that stage of looking around me and thinking 'is this it?' I have two children and a third on the way. I never get child free time which limits hobbies and so on of course. I don't work.

I don't know if anyone's got any suggestions or encouraging words or chin up type comments for me? :)

This is it :) Or at least this is it for now until you scrape out something better. However, this is where it gets interesting and I would recommend you stay optimistic and - very important - become someone who says 'yes' to any opportunities that come your way. If you're offered help, take it. If you're asked to join in an activity or hobby, take the kids along or offer to host it. My poor DS (I've been a lone parent since he was born) has been dragged along to all kinds of weird things in the name of 'Mum needs to get out of the house or she'll go NUTS!!!!' I like to think it's been character building for him. :)

How old are your children Turquoise?

8 and nearly 1 :)

Thanks

Does the 8 yr old do any after school clubs?

Baby & toddler groups / coffee mornings / anything on at the library for little ones like rhyme time, story time?

Are you on the Local Mumsnet pages? Quite a few Mums in the same position that would love a cuppa and a chat?

Do you have family near by that can help for an hour or two?

I'm in the similar position, moved areas when I met OH, lost touch with friends, not close to family. Have a 2 year old and work full time from home. It is very isolating not having anyone to talk to, or just a cuppa and discuss the weather. The only up side is that with my job I get to be with my son all day every day.

No family :) DS does have hobbies but these are music lessons. I've tried toddler groups but find it difficult to talk to people.
