Been there, done that...you're not alone
I don't mean to put everyone down. But I have a husband, a son and another baby coming; I live in a nice home with a safe environment. But I feel so alone. I have no friends. I know a few neighbors but they aren't really there for me. I have no one to talk to when I need to share some feelings. Just a while ago I tried to come by at a house of a so-called friend. I actually called yesterday to let her know Im coming by today. When I got there she wasn't home. Then on my way back home I wasthinking how sorry could my lifebe. This one time that I come over at someone's house who never calls me by the way, then no one is there. I have no one, Ihave NO ONE. When we first moved to our city, I was all alone during the day with a two year old son and pregnant with my second. Our neighborhood was new so there weren't many neighbors. My husband went to work every morning and came home tired every evening and I felt so alone. I didn't have anyone to talk to about things that didn't relate to Bert and Ernie!! I had to be a little more proactive in my quest to find things to do and people to relate to. I got involved in my community, did some volunteer stuff, volunteered at my church, etc...It took a while but it worked.
I don't know how old your son is but have you considered a "Mother's Day Out" program? You need some time for YOU and you deserve to have it, especially before this new baby comes. But in the meantime, you can come here for support and for a place to vent...just don't expect to have this as a full time way to fill the void...Internet support groups are great...but they don't take the place of actual human to human contact.
I wish the best for you and I hope that you find some happiness in your life...you certainly have so much to be thankful for!
