    Shared that on FB the other day. If I randomly grab and hug someone in Target, I'll know I'm not alone :)

    Hit home here too. We have lived in three states in four years, none of which have been my home state. I have one friend from two states ago but that is it and I don't know when I will ever see her again. It's pathetic really.

    I get social interaction from work but that's not the same.

    Hugs to you all. It kinda made me ugly cry so I just had to share it. I knew some of you could relate.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It's been a really tough month for me since I finished teaching for the school year (I teach at a college and we've been out forever!). I've been trying to tell my husband how I've been feeling but he doesn't quite get it. I had him read this and I think he might understand a little better fingers crossed.

    I never knew how lonely it could be. I guess I thought motherhood came with an instant playgroups. I don't have any friends (they told me 2 years ago they were only my friends because we worked together during the summer or had been roomies). I also don't speak to my inlaws (a gift really). I can't be around my parents or bring my son around them. My last few tries at approaching moms or mom groups have been epic fails (think BF vs FF "discussions") I actually cried in my car at the park yesterday just seeing all the moms there together with their kids.

    As my as my husband has tried to help I've cared for my son 24/7 since day one. As selfish as it sounds, I'd LOVE maybe an hour to go out and do something fun but we have no one to watch him. My husband owns his own business and it took a hit when I went back to work in Jan and he brought our son to the office with him. I was abused in daycare so I'm very scared and hestitant to put him in daycare.

    I just try to remind myself I'm so lucky to even have my son. I'm sure someday things will change and there will be that one mom or 2 at a storytime or swim lesson that feels the same way as me. I know it takes time and patience.

    Now I'm going to end my pity party for one and enjoy the first day of summer! Thanks for letting me vent.

    Good read. I went from being in charge of a playgroup to a new city where I know no one. It has been a really hard transition. I don't get on FB often because I do see my old group get together without me and it sucks.

    DH is constantly reminding me FB is only a highlight reel of someone's life but still a drink with a friend would be awesome.
