I can relate to the feeling of having a very basic life. I, however, don't miss the drama that I created in mine from my bad decision making. It is somewhat easier for me because I actually prefer to be alone a lot of the time. Do you do any type of volunteer work? I previously did a lot of work with our Department of Corrections and started doing some volunteer work. Sometimes I think I'm crazy because it does stretch me pretty thin on time occassionally, however, I love the interactions with people who need a second chance. Volunteering has made a big difference for me. Maybe there is something you could do with our somehow involving your child? Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
