Does anyone want to make friends who become family?

I lost most of my family in 2021/2022 and my partner doesn't have family contact either so we are pretty isolated. We are so tired of wishing we had family support and people around us to celebrate birthdays, holidays with ect... We have been hurt by a few people over the years which makes it hard for us to have the courage to make relationships with people or we are taken advantage of because of our kindness. We have been engaged for 7 years and want to get married but every time we think about it we know there would literally be about 3 or 4 people there. We want to throw parties for our son but have no one to invite, we literally had to invite strangers to our son's 1st party by posting on FB to fill it out. Is there anyone else who feels like they are missing that village who is supposed to be there during the good times and the bad? If that's you then please do message or post a comment below. Who knows, in a year or two we may be going on holiday together or we may be sharing a takeaway on the couch whilst watching a movie. Looking for people who are kind, empathetic and want to build meaningful friendships.

Hi Charlotte, This must have taken a lot to write, it’s so hard to put yourself out there! I have a girl a similar age to your boy, have a look at my profile and if you think we might be a good match then send me a message 😊 Take care x

Hiya lovely, im sorry you feel like this. I am fortunate to have a decent sized family but literally have one friends so I understand exactly how isolating it is and how hard it is to have kids who don't have a constant village to look up to! Your son is a similar age to my younger daughter, always up for a play date and see how they get on :)

I'm in the same boat and I'm feeling depressed being 3 months pregnant and have noone

It's so hard isn't it! I'm an extrovert and trying to make new friends having just moved here - but it's so hard and I feel like I'm trying too hard 😅🤣 I think it's like dating. You gotta just meet up ASAP and see if you vibe then keep being the one to initiate if you click.. and summer coming now means more opportunity to have playdates.. I think it'll get easier when your little one goes to school too as there will be opportunities to be on PTA etc xx
