Hi! Just want to vent a little. I am an immigrant in the US (CA) and it is just me and my husband. I have a really hard time making friends and I also do a lonely job so it is already hard to meet people in person. I have a couple of acquaintances that I chat with but nothing more, they live all far away or have different lives. My best friend of 20 years (who lives on the other side of the world now but we always made do) abandoned me when I gave birth and texted me 4 times in 18 months. I think it is because she is childless and sterilized by choice and thinks I judge her? I tried to say there is no way I judge her at all, but we just grew apart. I am also having a rough patch with my husband started when we had the baby because he struggles to reconcile life with a toddler with what he want out of life and he struggles to accept that this is a season of life where we need to limit ourselves sometimes. He is the only person I talk to, if we don’t count the cashiers at stores. I have virtually no friends. Nobody I can open up to. My mom and sister are on the other side of the world. I talk to them but I limit myself because there is no point in worrying them when there is nothing they can do. I also have another baby on the way. I SO long for someone who loves me to sit by me on the sofa and just tell me about their day, drink a tea or just tell me that it is true, what I am doing it’s hard, and that I am not alone. Someone to pop by just to see me. I want my mom and hugs. Alas, I am alone. And I am so sad. I feel I will always be alone. It has been 8 years now.

Making adult friends is so hard sadly. Especially when you’re already alone. I can’t relate to the first part but I do understand the rest. 🩶

Sending some love your way. So sorry to read what you are going through.

Did you communicate this with your husband?

find a library or park where moms go

Hi sweetie I sent you a bunch of hugs.
I relate so bad with you.
Come on the pods every day and some days you can have some distraction. You can write to me directly and I will join you on a pod.

I also struggle with loneliness and wanting to be known by those around. I lean on Jesus that He hears my cries. I am here if you need to talk
