I’m similar to Paul63, single father to 7yr old. Work full time.
Personally, I focus on time management and consistent routine. After a while things fall into place.
Don’t have much time for friends or people to confide in either but I’m in the mindset that I’ll meet someone in the same situation one day while out with my son.
Keep faith and in time things will fall into place. It will all be worth it. 😊
