Re: Feeling alone
I completely agree.
Children are wonderful no doubt but if you add them to an already strained relationship, you’re not doing them any favours. They’re stressful and pregnancy in and of itself is a wicked emotional rollercoaster sometimes (as @LP said above.) If you feel alone now, that loneliness might feel more compounded as a new mother.
The above is sage advice. Particularly the bolded portion. We can only control our own actions/responses/behaviours. You might need to start looking at those things in yourself to ascertain why the people in your life might be moving away from you. Unhappiness has a tendency to be contagious and when people recognize it in someone, even a loved one, they might distance themselves.
Cultivate your inner self so that you are more at ease when you’re alone. It might sound strange but some solitude is essential even for extroverts. It doesn’t sound like you are comfortable with *you *but this is something you can work on and change! The things that worked for you for years might not be the way to approach what you’re dealing with now. Go outside your comfort zone and try something new (or half a dozen new things.) They probably all wont fit but you’ll learn about yourself, your reactions, and perhaps come away with a clearer idea of what you can do to work on becoming more fundamentally and fully you. Self possession is important. It gives us the backbone to weather emotional storms and we then don’t need to lean on other people quite as much.
Wishing you contentment
