[QUOTE="bluebluesky, post: 372569"] Thank you guys so so much for responding. I knew, that on a board with parents who have issues they are struggling with everyday, there would be real help and practical answers. I hope you understand that I truly feel there is a problem. I cannot explain what it is but the isolation and loneliness are very real. I don't think I am being paranoid because my daughter is alone with me most of the time and there is no one to turn to for support. My sisters are doing their own thing (they have no kids yet) and they are completely unaware of the isolation I feel at the moment. Although I have pointed it out to them, they continue to be in their own world and unsupportive. I have mentioned to them that it would be nice if they took daughter out once in a while, to make her feel like she has family around; it has yet to happen. I told them I would give them the money to do it (even though extra money is scarce), but still they haven't offered. I used to be a lively person who socialized very well (although I myself have had problems sustaining friendships for years and years, but still a happy and vivacious person. For a few years now, I just feel like something is going on, and I am not trying to blame my daughter; it's just that no matter what I try at this point I cannot seem to create a warm and loving community for us. I used to be able to do it when it was just me, but now I don't know what is going on. Coupled with the fact that parents almost never invite her for playdates and parties altogether, I am so incredibly fearful for my daughter. The agony I feel is heartwrenching. I just want my baby to fit in with society in general and so far I cannot find a fit. That is why I am looking forward to social therapy. As long as she can fit into some kind of group.
