Hi Prathna and welcome to our forums
Thank you for sharing your story. Relocating is quite a change and is difficult to settle down. I have moved quite a bit in my life so understand how this can affect one's life. Some moves have been better than others. I know how difficult building new friendships is and how disheartening it is at times. So my heart goes out to you.
Have you tried looking at activities that are available for mums with young bubs in Queensland? There are a wide range of activities available at libraries and parks. I've found this is a great place to meet other mums. Southbank precinct is another alternative, loads of activities in and around that area.
Moving cities does mean leaving friends and family behind. I've found this to be the hardest part of any move. So, I try to maintain contact with the people I've left by using Facebook and Skyping. While it doesn't replace - flesh and blood, it does help me a little to not feel so lonely. I love to talk with family and friends in other parts of Australia.
It's hard work building friendships. I've found as I get older it's more difficult. The key for me now is - joining lots of different groups. Some through facebook, some through the volunteer work I do, some special interest groups. It's taken 10 years to not feel so lonely after my last move.
Hope some of this helps Prathna.
Kind regards
PamelaR
