[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in my forties and have three children. My kids are getting older so they have their own friends. It isn’t like when a bunch of moms hosted play dates. I don’t go out to happy hour and hang with those types of friends. Some friends are getting divorced. Many marriages in trouble. Some are struggling with health or finances. I want to be a good friend but can’t help but feel we are all just drifting apart.[/quote]

I empathize.  It is hard making friends as an adult.  Everyone I consider a friend or friendly acquaintance I met through my kids when we moved here while kids in ES.  5 years later kids off being teens & setting own meetups I am alone a lot.

I suppose I should make an effort to extend an invitation, but my hesitation is that I am not in a couple any longer and getting together as  couples w w/o families was the usual hang out.

Perhaps I overestimated the connection I had w the other moms.  Now the group is no more and I never did the 1:1 thing.

So no advice.  Just telling you - others in same boat.  Maybe we should reach out
