I find I have a lot of trouble breaking into groups of friends but have s lot more success going into it where everyone is a stranger. You may try to find some kind of meetup like that. I've seen like dinners for 8 where everyone is supposed to be a stranger.
I am a turtle when I meet new ppl I go into my shell. Before I post here it takes me like 5 to 10 mins to encourage myself. I think eh why bore ppl with my problems. Lol and then I think meeting ppl will they like me or not.. stuff like that lol

I was an introvert and really bad at mingling and small talk until BD. One of H's many complaints about me, he called me "socially retarded." I don't know what happened, but you should see me now. I have more friends than I can keep up with . Most of them were previous friends, who I just connected with more deeply because I "had to"- I just needed them. And now I am not going to say I know how to "work a room" or anything but I am fine in social situations. I think that H broke my heart so wide open that I just changed into a different person.
Overcom, is there a group at your church that you could join? Maybe a women's group, or a moms group? They are pretty welcoming.
I am so sorry you are going through this. I am the same age and i have two young kids like you. I know how hard this is. Just remember it is only paper. Get a good L and fight for you and your kids.

He filed 50/50. Everything mutual. I see my L on Wednesday. It's done. I have no more hope. Once he's done he's done. He won't come back. .. my life will never be the same.
