Managing loneliness
I am a FTM and feel so lonely. The only people around my area are my in-laws and my husband works very long hours (only see him when we sleep) so I feel like I’m only communicating with a baby and would do anything for some company. All of my support network lives far away and my in-laws I’d rather keep a distance from.
Did anybody else struggle with loneliness after having a baby? The constant battle with housework, the need for a proper adult conversation or a drink with someone, all the days feeling like they mesh into one doing the same routine with your baby everyday?
I love my baby so much but I miss my old life 😔
It was difficult for me but then I befriended some lovely ladies on Peanut and we are each others support system now. I’ve been on peanut since my first baby in 2022
