    Ughh, that's got quite bad. How long has it been since your relationship with this guy ended? Have you tried getting in touch with your old friends?

    How old are your children. Perhaps you could give somewhere like homestart a call. Or, you could try going to a local mother and child playgroup to meet people. Or, gingerbread, try their website, they are a charity for single parents, they might have advise on how to meet friends and feel less lonely with two kids.

    What do you like doing, perhaps you could get a babysitter for a few hours a week and re-take up a hobby?

    it must be really hard to get your confidence back after a controlling relationship like that.
    How old are your kids?
    Meeting friends off the internet is not such a bad idea. HAve you tried parenting sites?

    Did you mean "Surestart"? I'm not sure whether all local authorities provide these facilities, but they generally offer a wealth of support and opportunities for parents of young children. Try this link:
