Wow....I am alone & loving it & everyone here in the "almost" south has no problem with my status.
I'm 66 & yep....was an only child & so was my mom & dad so by default there was no other family. I left my H almost 12 years ago now. Bought a little farm I take care of myself. Grew up in So. Calif & always hated it.
I have a ballroom dance group I went to for years until I had too many other expenses. I volunteer with a group that does the floral work for the eventing horse show at the horse park. Got started woth them in 2010 when they had the World Equestrian games there. I volunteer around town & active in my church though having elderly & sick dogs has slowed my time away from home. I enjoy a small art group. I never learned art only music & so now it't time to learn art.
I also ride horses & there is akways someone who wants their horses exercised.
My dad died back in 1989 & my mom died in jan 2005 so I have been an orphan for a long time now.
I actually love my alone time while I really enjoy the wonderful people in all my areas of intetest I have met since moving here. I was a mess when I moved here. On disability for depression & anxiety & was recovering from anorexia & was dealing with a trauma & the PTSD it caused from the home care person I caught abusing my mom when she was dying of cancer. My alone time & finally good therapy has given me the ability to recover from a lifetime of being surrounded by dysfunction. I love sitting in my sun room overlooking my woods, watching the birds & raccoons. Being surrounded by peaceful nature has definitely had it's calming effect on my life. Even my T commented on what a difference there is in me from when we first met.
Family is important in this area too but at this age I have many single friends either divorced or widows & we just do things together & have fun
