Yes, we'll all be sitting at a table watching the kids bowl and a convo will be going on, and I'll jump in at the appropriate spots and be met with a stone wall. I'm from out of town and my kids don't go to the same schools. The other moms have schools and all kinds of other activities in common. I'm the odd mom out.

My son moved up one age group this year but the other kids are still in the same group as last year , so I'm hoping with a change of people will come some more chances to interact.

Still, there's that one spot of brain going "The ex is sabotaging you. They all know you served him custody papers and they all think you're a horrible person not worthy of friendship, that's why no one wants to talk to you."
