I'm losing my mind.

I have a 2.5 year old boy and a 1.5 year old girl. Currently pregnant with #3.

I'm lonely, I go to the parks and playgrounds but I still haven't made any friends. I just don't connect with people that easily. I'm Latino and I'm living in the USA, I find it very isolating. There are not many Latinos around so I haven't found my place in this community.

Everybody is friendly, but too polite and formal. People keep to themselves a lot, it doesn't feel warm to me. I don't know if it's like this everywhere in the country or just this area.

There's also the age difference between mother here. There seem to be mother in their early 40s having babies right now, and I'm at least 10 yrs younger than them. They seem to be successful in their careers and are taking a break now for the kiddo, they have working friends/mothers already so I have absolutely nothing in common with them.

I certainly feel like I don't belong here.

My son is autistic as well so I'm trapped in the house for his therapies a lot. It's very lonely.

Back in my country we give each other hugs like we mean it when we say hi, we're as friendly as can be when we meet the first time and were more personable. We warm up pretty quickly. I haven't met anyone like this here.

I'd love to go back home but I'm trapped here forever. Sadly, my country doesn't offer much support for autism so I'm never moving away from here, my son needs the support.
