[quote=Anonymous]I adopted so in a sense I brought this upon myself and, yes, I realize you make some sacrifices when your children are young--had to get that out of the Way for the though, crazy, critical dcums crowd-- but I'm bored and lonely. My child has language delays so sitting home with her night after night isn't fun or.fulfilling. We can't even watch movies together BC she doesn't understand even simple.plots. She really only enjoys cartoons at this point --or insufferable Barbie movies. Her attention span for cooking and crafts is limited. She likes to "play" but I can only do that for so long.

This isn't only about her though. I am simply not "popular" anyways. Not to sound middle schools but I get very fee invitations. I am not part of a couple so that's part of it and I can rarely get a sitter but i also have limited invitations that I'm a mom. I dream of fun dinner parties, dates to Broadway shows, flirting in bars, girls trips, etc. Yes, I'm a mom but I'm also a young woman who has a whole section of her life missing.

I am depressed bit I don't want counseling or drugs; I want suggestions on how to change my situation. Its not a matter of exchanging child car time with a neighbor because even with time I have nowhere to go. My married freidns don't invite me over (we are phone friends) and my single friends assume I can't go so we are drifting apart. We are getting more distant with  each passing year.

I love my child but she can not be my whole world. Help![/quote]
