It's horrifying that if I disappeared, the only person that would notice is my son.

You can find yourself, you can like yourself, but it doesn't mean you're likeable. I've been alone a long time and it's cool, I'm good, but it's not what I want for us.

have you ever tried support groups? to see that you're not alone?

i'm kind of the opposite - I like being a loner. sorry that i's not good for you.

@Pretzel there's no support groups here, people just drink.

Maybe when I'm 70 I won't mind being alone, I don't even mind it now. The point is my son has no one. Because I can't make connections, he has no support system either and that feels like a failure on my part

@MarbleMarvel ah. I missed that point. Any after school activities he might be interested in?
