| My family just moved to a new town where I don't know anyone, and my husband works 13hrs a day, I feel very isolated from... well everything. I;m used to being close to my mom and all my friends I grew up with. I'm feeling a little lost. I would like to find something to do that includes my 8 month old. |

| I think you should look into mommy and me groups or even find out what is offered at the library. You can meet people and the play ground too. There is another site online called mamasource and you can sign up in your area to talk to people like you do on this one. Maybe there are people closer to you that would like to get together. Just a few suggestions. |

| I really know what you are going through!!! I moved to FL when my son was 18 months and I had a three week old newborn!!!! I did not know a soul here and it was extremely hard...I actually met one mommy through this site and then I kept going to the local parks and made two other friends. I know it is hard, but get yourself out of the house and the rest will just happen. If I can do it with a newborn and toddler, you should have no problems making some great new friends too! I wish you happy hunting and don't forget to take care of your inner soul as the tough times tend to really raise more concerns for it. Also, go to your local library and check out the local publications for they will have things to do too. Take care! ;) |

| I can really feel for you. I haven't even moved, but just leaving my workplace and being at home everyday has given me that isolated feeling. All of my friends work, so I haven't had anyone to really socialize with during the day. I'm looking for a playgroup, because I think that would help me meet other stay at home moms in the area. I'm also in a moms group that meets once a month at my church. I haven't done MOPS yet, but I've heard that's really good. Look for some groups like that in your area. They are a great way to meet other moms. I think lots of stay at home moms feel the way you do. |

I know exactly how you feel hun. My family lives 1200 miles away. With my husband being in the military we move all the time. I have to meet new people all the time. Try some playgroups and activites that involve the community. If you need anyone to talk to Im here :)

| You definately need to find a group. Check out storytimes at the library, www.meetup.com, or even craiglist under groups. |
