The loneliness is real

I love my kids and wife but I feel so alone sometimes. Like I'm going through the motions, work, home, repeat. I don't have close friends anymore since we moved and everyone says parenting is isolating but I didn't expect it to feel THIS isolating. I think I need to talk to someone about it. Just needed to get that out there.

Man, I hear you. Lost touch with my buddies after my son was born too. What's helped me is getting out with my kid more, fishing trips and stuff. Gives me time to think but also reminds me why the routine matters, you know?

The going through the motions thing is real. But here's the thing - those moments with your family, even the mundane ones, they're not nothing. Maybe time to reconnect with even one friend, even just a coffee once a month?
