Dealing With Lonliness

[Bellarim]

Hello, my name is Belinda and I am 25 years old I am a single mother to two boys Cam and Ross aged 4 and 2.

I live in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne Mt Evelyn to be exact and I am feeling very lonely and isolated.

I seperated with my husband in April and didnt realise that I had given up all my friendships in the time we were together (7years). I cant blame him for that my fault and it is a lesson learnt.

I seem to be ok in the week but when it hits the weekends I really get down. I start to think geez I am 25 and cant go out anywhere cause I have no friends.

So I am here trying to make contact with some people and try to get a life happening for myself.

Anyone who wants to be in contact with me please email me billybin13@optusnet.com.au or or add me to MSN. I would really love to hear from some people!!!!

I have also added a couple of you to my MSN I hope that is ok

Hello, I have left my husband several months ago. I just turned 31 and have 4 children and am feeling lonely too. I'm doing my best to stay afloat but there are days when it seems impossible. I just keep pushing myself to be active and make an effort. I feel awkward of course, but at the end of the day I can say that I did try. I had lots of friends at one time but slowly they all faded away....I really think he did that on purpose, it's a control thing with him. I'm glad to be on my own. It sucks being feeling alone, but when I'm with my kids and reading a good book, not having to answer to anyone the feeling fades a little. It's like if you fill your life with positive things you're not feeling as alone.

I live in Mooroolbark and work (well, for the next couple of months anyway) in Silvan. Have you checked out the second hand baby place at Mt Evelyn? I love it!!!

I am expecting a boy in October (well, probably in September actually, from what my doctor is saying, but that's another story...)

I have been married before and though I stuck it out for a lot longer than I should, as I was worried about being on my own, actually making the break was the best thing I ever did. I found one still-single friend to go out with, so we hit the town - HARD!!! And there I met my DH, who I truly believe is my soulmate. So it does happen! Just give it time (it took me 18 months).

Are there any mother's groups around you that you could join? I have lost a lot of friends with the break-up of my first marriage too, but can't wait to join a mother's group as I hope to make a lot of new friends.

(I have just noticed that it was a very old post - hope things are looking up for you, Belinda!)

For people worried about breaking up with partners as they don't want to be lonely or think they won't find anyone else - this is not a good reason to stay in an unhappy relationship. Life is short so the precious time we have should be happy times. You deserve better, and if my experience is any guide, you will find it out there. Do not settle for anything but the best!

I feel for you two children would be hard work. I have been on my own now for just over two months and it is hard but this site is awesome.
Hope you feel better soon
