Someone who freaked out at me over asking to reschedule a coffee date and got blocked from a mom group reached out today apologizing and I'm torn

About a year ago I started going to a mom get together for dinner once a month when I could afford it. I also attended a Christmas party and had a good time with my kids. The group was for children with autism and other disabilities and I had high hopes to make friends. It's so hard to make friends when you have a special needs child. A mom from the group had asked me to take her home after a couple times and it wasn't too far out of my way and I was happy to. We had planned to get coffee but she cancelled twice because of household emergencies which I totally get. I followed up about a week later to try to reschedule because I did really want to get together. She called me names and listed that I was a rude person because she has a disabled child and apparently having fertility struggles which I didn't know. I just left it. I had been looking forward to the next dinner with the group and still had wanted to go and I had enough money to go. I was blocked from the group. As someone who has absolutely no life and nothing to look forward to it hurt very very badly. I had several nights of tears and was sad about it for months. That my only hope of meeting and forming friendships with similar people was taken away. I have not made any friends since because it's hard with a medically fragile disabled child. I have very little in common with parents of able bodied children. My son cannot participate in most activities a normal child enjoys. People are mean when they see kids with differences. Tonight she reached out and apologized saying she was wrong to act that way.. She wants to have coffee on Thursday and I guess I'm going to go but I'm still so hurt but I'm also so lonely and still blocked from the mom group. What should I do?

Periods

My daughters are getting to the age where their periods may start at any time. I am teaching them about what they need to know like watching videos on YouTube to kinda explain it better. Is there anything else I should teach them just in case. Explained where they will bleed from and if they do to let either their teacher know or if they’re home to come let me know. Should I go ahead and teach them how pads work?? My mom never gave me the period talk so this is all new to me. Kinda stressing to make sure my girls fully understand what will be happening.

This will sound bad

FTM mom.

I have a six month old who I absolutely adore. When my husband and I started trying, we did not think that we would get pregnant on the first try at all. Both myself and my husband have health issues so we genuinely thought that we are gonna be struggling. We did not expect to get up to bat and hit a home run on the first try.

With that being said in the same year that my child was born we moved cities where we didn’t have friends we bought a house. He got two promotions and is working like a dog.

I feel genuinely lost. I can’t establish a good group of friends here at all. I’ve tried Mom groups and the only women that show up are either grandmothers or nannies. I tried churches. I’ve tried workout classes, but making female friends as a mother is impossible.

When we got pregnant, we made the decision that I would stay home and end my corporate job because my corporate job the only way to move up was if we were to move us another city to the home office which we couldn’t do because we just moved from my husbandβ€˜s job.

I can feel the resentment creeping in. I feel like I’ve put everything in my life on hold for my husband and he is doing everything that he wanted in his life hasn’t drastically changed. He’s still going to work having adult conversations making friends and I’m at home with a baby maybe going out once a day having a very routine life. Frankly, i’m regretting saying yes to trying for a baby, but I love our kid. It’s so complicated to say out loud and I feel guilty even admitting it.
