Thank you for the confidence builder. Also I love your ideas to call someone. I have a couple of family members that have been there for me and a long time friend as well. I think I am a bit lucky that d17 has chosen to stay with me, so I have her company most evenings except when she is out with friends. But good adult conversation is definitely needed.
I browsed the meetup site for my area, but have not yet taken the leap to try one of the groups, but I know I need to soon. I think the loneliness sensation is starting to catch me at odd times. I guess as an introvert being alone was never a big deal when I knew the W and kids were at home for me. Now it is a painful sensation to say the least. All of my family lives far away, and I have a few married friends, so this is gonna be a challenge for me. Meetup looks to be a good place to start.
This whole situation still feels so surreal to me. Like a long bad dream that I can't wake up from. There are moments where I feel like I am coming out of it, and there are moments like now where I don't want to head home so I am sitting here in my car writing this. Seems so pathetic and a far cry from where I ever imagined being 10, 20 or even 30 years ago.
Anyhow, I will get some time with my girls tonight so I am looking forward to that.
Pushing on, trying to see what can be, and trying not to look back at what was.
