I just must be the dumbest, meanest, rudest, most obnoxious person in my area...

Momagain1, your situation sounds like mine. I moved from Fayetteville, NC to where I live now in WV. Big city to middle of nowhere. I had friends there that I could call up & talk to, go meet for dinner, a group of us even had movie nights. I ended up losing my job and then my house so I had to move here. I went from having friends to having no friends. I only have one friend from NC that still talks to me. It's not often, but we do. My son hated it up here. He wanted to be back in a city so gave him a year to get used to it here. He ended up moving to TN to live with his dad. My daughter has never known any different. She was only 10 months old when we moved. She loves it. The only people I have to talk to up here are my parents and a couple people from work. The people I live around do not want to have anything to do with "those outsiders". Yes, that has been said to our faces. I was looking for a babysitter so I could go to work and one person told me "I don't know you and I don't know your family. I have no interest in keeping your brat." My daughter was a year and a half old. Don't get me wrong, I love where I live. There is just no one to talk to or get together with. If you are not part of the high school graduation crowd, you don't belong. By that, I mean if you didn't go to high school here, you don't belong here. One lady from work that I talk to the most is from another state as well. She and her husband moved here just for his job. When it ends, she plans on moving back to where she is from. I live 40 minutes from the nearest "big city". And believe me, it's not that big!! lol The movie theaters are over an hour away, shoot, the nearest Wal Mart is 45 minutes away. But I now have my chickies to keep us company. They are so entertaining to watch! I hope you make some local friends soon. If not, hey, you still have us!! :p
 
The first person who can define normal and tag it to a real person gets a cookie!!

I remember when i was venting and you were there for me, and I really think it was great that you were not shy to say you were different than most! Im glad to be counted among your number!

Dont take it personally, maybe she feels over whelmed by all the things you do. Maybe her issues are making her depressed and want to turn inward. I know depression can make people sort of isolationists.

I would say just back off, let her be and once in a while send her a "Thinking of you" card. That might break the ice!

I know when people who are erally sweet and nice and out going try to get to know my I freak out a little because i have trust issues. Sometimes I want to hide, or I see thier number and dont answer the phone because Im a bit scared of them. Some people feel like such a presence.

If you think that venting about your daughter may have caused a bit of unsteady ground to develop between you, send her a nice apology note and tell her that you had not intended to unload on her. Maybe she will see that you were not trying to bring her down.

You are a wonderful and beautiful, if not caring person, dont be shy about being you! (sound familiar??)

We here that know you, some of better than others, know you are a shining star and we love to see your light!
