I totally relate. It was about a health/behavioral development issue with one of my kids. I felt like such a burden to others & felt they couldn't really understand. I ended up kind of isolating from others. So the friendships I did happen to maintain turned into more 'surface' relationships...which made me feel even more alone. It's interesting that during those long, hard years my best friends/supporters were online like from 'mommy blogs' (except the kind where everything is not perfect & about all the fantastic crafts and adventures & about how wonderfully easy & gratifying it is to be a mom all the time...lol.) So yeah, basically, be real here. Some days (& years) are harder than others.
