Great advice here tl2. I am in the same boat. New city= no friends or family. No money= well, no money.
I have been to the library a few times, and started church a month or so ago. The library has a book club, that I am going to join, and the church has a Divorce Care support group. I am not technically either of those, but I don't think they will ban me.
Also, when kids were little, we went to a lot of playgrounds. Those things are free.
Thanks melweb, I really appreciate you taking the time to post. I live in a little village with scant train and bus service so it is a realy struggle. We don't have a library or anything. Just a tiny shop selling sweets and newspapers. I feel very isolated. I guess if H does actually go ahead and D me I am going to have to sort out a car somehow. Another thing to add to the list of worries as that will be another expense! I am keeping busy with my kids but the 4 year age gap makes it tricky as S11 has got the stage where he doesn't actually want to move at all! I'm finding the nights are the worst, when the kids have gone to bed and I am all alone staring at H's empty chair.
