I am still alone at the family home and my close friends live very far away so I lack any support in person.
Maybe it's time to include that in your GAL. How can you start doing activities that bring you closer to your community?
I know quite a few other parents but they also know W so I don't feel that I can say much to them at this time.
I had started going to a local pub, got to know a few regulars there, but then realised that they are not the sort of people I want to be friends with. There isn't much else to do locally.
I travelled into the city but I had to leave as there were happy memories everywhere of W and I, and there were families having fun. I had to go home as I was too upset.
I am confident enough to talk to strangers to start a conversation but I don't know anyone locally to go for a day out together etc.
