Reading past posts, I realized i focused too much on the negativity of my situation.
Here's what i did for myself over the weekend.
On friday, I joined a church cell group and made friends.
On saturday, I participated a seminar on parenting. Well, its centered on both parents but i think i can make this work with my kids. Spoke to the speaker about being a single parent and he promised to look for materials that could help me. No support group for divorced people or single fathers available here! Had a family gathering over dinner later in the evening. Met some distant relatives whom i don't even remember and found myself sitting on the same table with them. Being an introvert, I gulped and just shook everybody's hand and of course that made myself quite comfortable because they actually warmed up to me. I had quite a conversation out there.
On sunday, joined a church service and had lunch with some members. I spend the rest of the evening with my kids and had a little bit of drama dealing with D4.
Some weekend, eh?
Planet! I am proud that you recognized focusing on the negativity. That can be a hard thing to break. Good for you, now you can change it!
It is hard being an introvert and throwing yourself into new situations. Once you get over the nerves, you find you actually had a great time! You are doing really well, keep up the positivity!
