Like you, I am a bit of a loner, some self-imposed, some by circumstance of trying to be a "good H" and always coming right home from work, not being a sports fan, etc, blah, blah...
What GAL activities can you do that are "home related" and involve the kids? How about going through Julia Child's French cook book? Making homemade bread, making home-brewed beer (...heh, it is fun and educational, and would probably flip stbxH out... ) How about veggie gardening? Saves $$$ too... What hobbies did you used to have as a kid or later, that have been put by the wayside raising a family? Reading? Heck, thrift stores can keep you in books for pennies...and so much to learn that escapes our everyday needs perceptions.

I hear you on that...when they said the LBS would be doing all the work, man, I had NO IDEA how right they were. Trying to repair/cope with the MLC'er/R, keeping a roof over our heads, the kids affected as little as possible, the financials...all without our partners who used to help us at least a bit....ugh! And having little emotional support outside of these forums, it really gets lonely out here in our hinterlands.
Hang in there and here for ya! T^2
