Make good friends who will become your new family.

There, that's tough love from someone who has been there, done that. Our families are in Europe.

You will find plenty of people in this cosmopolitan area who have family abroad, like us, and no one in this country, let alone local! You will also find people with family nearby but with serious issues.

OP here.  I would love to find friends who are like family.  In the hopes of doing so I started a playgroup of moms I didn't know to try to meet new moms, as I could not find any.  Hopefully over the years some of these women will become great friends.  But that takes years.  And the funny thing is every single one of them is from this area and has family here.  So[b] it's hard to find people to do things with last minute if I'm feeling lonely and we have no one to celebrate holidays[/b] with which sucks.

We live in the suburbs, and I rarely come across transplants to the area like us.

Someone mentioned back up care--what exactly is that and how do I find it?  I'm a FTM and don't really know what that is.[/quote]

You sound needy OP. And a but inward focused too. Friendships are two way and not just there for when you are lonely. With how busy people are "last minute" is often not possible for people even if they were your friends.[/quote]
