How are other special needs mom's making friends?

I'm struggling. Most people I meet do not want to be around my children which is hard because I have no village. Most people are not available during the school day when I'm by myself because they have work. Hiring care for my son works out to hundreds of dollars for an evening which I cannot afford. Then id need a second regular babysitter for my daughter. Regular babysitters who are more affordable either do not feel comfortable looking after twins alone, find my son's behavior hard because he's unsettled often. So I just spend all of my time alone. I wish I had someone to spend time with or call on the phone or someone who might think of me. I don't. I don't really know what to do

I need to vent

So i moved from Europe to America to be with my husband and after that i had my baby 7 months ago, all of my friends were so excited for me and gave me an impression that they are so excited to become “aunties”. First couple of months most of them talked about coming to visit me and see the baby, and obviously they still haven’t made any plans on coming. And it’s so hard to make friends in a new country, especially now as a mom… guess I just feel so hurt because I wouldn’t have done that to them. But I know I can’t expect me in other people. It’s been really lonely, and despite me saying this they keep saying they will come but I know they won’t. I also don’t have any siblings, my mom is on the older side and she can’t travel back and forth like that, and my dad passed away few years ago.

Anyways thank you to whoever took their time to read this and have my moment 🥹

I am sad

Please is there anyone available to talk to tonight😭😭 i am 32 weeks pregnant and alot is going on BTW me and partner
I could feel my body shaking😢

Leaving baby

Has anyone left their baby with their partner or a close family member yet? I’m starting to feel quite overwhelmed with motherhood and honestly just think I need an afternoon with my friends to just not have to think for a second but I feel so guilty for wanting to just switch off and recharge😬

Friends

I’m looking for genuine friendship, someone I can get to know talk to and support each other vice versa talk all the time about life what we’re feeling and everything that we’re going through. I want someone who can actually put in an effort to keep the friendship going.

Sex drive

I have a super high sex drive and the guy I'm sleeping with he doesn't. Sometimes I feel like he's not intrested. But it's always been like this for me. Even when I was pregnant my sex drive was sky high even more than when I wasn't. So do you think something is wrong with me?
