A little reading to begin with

A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONE

Start with the kind of adult contact you would like, not the number of social occasions you think a parent should attend. You might miss sharing an interest, having a quiet conversation or exchanging ordinary news with someone who knew you before becoming a parent. Those needs suggest different formats.

Separate friendship from school or care coordination. Both can matter, but a busy group chat does not necessarily provide the conversation you want. You do not need to use a clinical label to say that practical contact is leaving something missing. Identify one realistic conversation and one person with whom you might have it. Avoid treating the exercise as a verdict on your entire social life.
