I am New to SFV

Hello all. We're new to this site and the San Jose area and with our closest friends and family over 1000 miles away it gets difficult at times doing it all by yourself. The crazy part is not really knowing where to go to meet people to socialize with so it gets a bit depressing at times.

Thanks. Right now I am just attempting to rationalize the situation. It has been over three months since she walked out and I hear one flaky reason after another. I can’t understand how she can just walk away from her children. We had a blended family and the two children she had from her past are now both living somewhere else. She makes little effort to contact our son, and when she does call she want something from me and it is usually after his bedtime. None of it makes sense.

I hate when my son and I go out and I see other families enjoying each other’s company. He asks me why Mom hates him; how am I supposed to respond? Right now I try to tell him that his mom does love him, but I feel shallow and can’t support that statement. He’s four and all he really knows is that his mother and brother are no longer living here.

Welcome. I am new to this site and single fathering too. I also struggle with seeing other families together. Especially during the holidays. The commercials are the worst! How come I don't have a wife to buy a Lexus for christmas? I find myself meeting people through school, the ymca, and work. I usually seek out people with children as it is so good for my kids. My son is almost 6 and definately struggles with "how could mom leave." I tell him mommy had to do it and it's not our fault and she loves him. I try to make playdates and find myself meeting a lot of new people this way. Some go away but a few become good friends and even offer help. Best of luck and keep coming here for advice as a lot of people here have been where you are and can tell you from experience that IT WILL GET BETTER!
