feeling isolated

by kate
(Covington, Louisiana)

So I've been single about 2 weeks after my son was born. His dad just split and we divorced. I have dated off and on but no keepers and no-one good enough to bring around my son just yet. Now he is a pre-teen and spends a lot of time in his room, with his friends, doing things without me. And that's ok, but I am starting to feel so isolated. I don't have any close friends and few social friends. The Mom's of my son's friends are nice to talk to, but all married so I don't think it would work for me to try and develop those friendships. My desire is to start having a social life and make some new friends, but I don't know where to begin. Advice please!!
