I think being with being SAHM, for me the hardest bit was the loneliness. I didn't expect it to happen and when it did, it was horrible. DH worked long hours (leaving 6 in the morning, often returning at 10 or 11 at night), mum was overseas for six months and my friends...well I'm still wondering where they went. It was the sameness of every day. I started to go for a walk. Get some air, smile at people. Talked to my dogs a lot.

My circumstances are different to yours. Sometimes that loneliness still sets in, even now. I regret not joining a mother's group. Just to have someone to talk to. I found on the days where I did see someone made for easier nights. Been thinking of you lots hun
