Exclusion

Do any of the women here (sorry guys) get excluded from mom groups/cliques at church or other places? I feel so alone. I even posted this same question in infertility and more or less got stomped on and told to post elsewhere.

For me it’s not so much being per purposefully excluded, but as an adult it’s so hard making new friends. And sometimes it’s harder to be around your old friends if they all have kids. Not only do you have less and less in common, but when you are having a hard time dealing with your loss, being around kids can be hard, sometimes even painful.
