[quote=Anonymous]I feel similarly OP.  I also feel very, very lonely.  I'm an only child, have a good relationship with my parents, but they moved to California to retire almost 10 years ago (they don't have any family or ties in California--just moved there for the weather).  Husband has a horrible relationship with his family and they all live in Arizona.  I don't like his family and have never gotten along with them.  He has 1 sister who is estranged and 1 brother he barely talks to.  We see my parents twice a year and his family once a year on average.  His father has never met our child and has no interest.  It's a sad situation.  I have 15 first cousins but they are all over the place and they have no interest in a relationship.  I grew up in a city with no local family so I don't have much of a relationship with any extended family.

It's a very lonely way to live.  We spend every holiday alone.  I feel sad for my son because I grew up feeling super lonely as a child.

The whole "friends as family" thing hasn't worked for us.  Our friends have their own plans for the holidays and have never once invited us to join them.

I'm in therapy trying to accept/cope with the situation.  But it makes me feel very sad and lonely.  My husband really wants to have a second child.
