Warning, self-pitying rant alert....
So I'm a single mum (2 years now, gorgeous, lovely DS) and feeling the loneliest I have felt in quite some time. This has just struck me as I was so looking forward to today...first time I've had to myself in weeks. And I have just felt..well, not depressed but very down...isolated..not a good day.
I do go out and do things..I go to an evening class, I work but I don't have a lot of friends up here and am away from family.
More and more I think about moving back to my home town (About 180 miles away), but XP and I share joint custody of DS and that's just not going to work, not without a lot of heartache.
What I miss most is adult company. I have no problem meeting men but finding someone who isn't out for 'one thing' and thinks I'm an 'easy target' is pretty hard. Really though I'm more jealous of people just having a laugh with their mates 'cos thats what I would like.
I do try to make friends and chat to people but I find it very hard. I'm not naturally outgoing, quite reserved and tbh there's probably some low self esteem mixed in with all that.
Gawd, I sound like a complete wreck! Not sure what the point of writing all this down is maybe a rant would help a bit..also to wonder if anyone else feels the same way? Thanks and a bit of admiration for anyone who's read through that lot!!!
