I'm lonely...

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive March 2006: I'm lonely...

The girls are at youth group and dh just left. I'd hoped he would stay home and we could go for a walk on this beautiful spring day, or do something together, but he's off to work on something or other at the farm. Normally, I love being alone, but not today. I hate feeling sorry for myself! I've got plenty to do, but here I sit at the computer. *sigh*

I'm lonely today too. My DD is at confirmation class and my 11mo is sleeping. This was my hubby's weekend to work and he won't be home until 7:30 tonight. Hope it helps to know you are not alone. (((Hugs))) Thank goodness for this website!

I am lonely a lot. Well I always have my dd with me since I am a stay at home mom but we moved to Virginia about 7 months ago and still have not met any friends. My husband is in the Coast Guard and at our last unit we had tons of wife events. But here since we are land stationed they don't do anything like that I miss all the candy parties and baby showers and all that kind of good stuff. We do go to church but I guess there just hasn't been that person to come along. There are women there that I wouldn't mind trying to be friends with but the timing just hasn't been right I guess. We are here for 3 1/2 more years so hopefully some body will come along

Shyan, were you the one who lived in Alaska? I thought I read that before. My dad was stationed in Alaska a million years ago, before I was even born. It made such an impression on him that all through my childhood, he threatened to move us all there. I would love to go there now for a visit. My dad passed away in 1998 at 57yo. My brothers & sisters & I would love to see why it made such an impact on his life.

Just a suggestion, does your church have a Mommy & Me group? That may open a door.

Janet I can relate, kinda from a different side of things. I'm a single mom and while I have a bf he of course has his own life. It's sooooo hard when my children are away with their dad. I feel so lonely. I do a lot, like pick up movies, go to the library, go for walks etc. sometimes I just get overwhelmed by the feeling of loneliness. A lot of the women I know are also single mom's and they don't have an ex who takes their lil ones much so they're almost always busy with their kids..and being around theirs just makes me lonely for mine. It's difficult to meet people out here. I just try to keep myself busy and not think about it too much. I get so tired of doing things on my own. I imagine sometime I'll meet more people and I'm working on it and have some things that look promising but....yeah.
