OK, my divorce just finalized yesterday. How do I work on not being lonely and just being a solo Dad for the next six months plus

I’m gonna preface this with I really, economically kind of turned out OK. I got my kids my house and no alimony and I know that’s enough to make a lot of people say WTF. I’m losing all my savings, but I have a pension so that won’t make too much of a difference. I am 51 years old. I am very much an extrovert and also a home body. I live in fucking boring ass suburban Florida, where there is nothing to do. I hate it here, but I’m so far in the pension system and my older son wants to go to college here that I’m pretty much stuck here. I’ve decided for at least six months. I don’t wanna date anyone, because after 21 years of marriage, I just need a break. I’m a serial monogamist. Always had a girlfriend just about since the age of 16 so it’s gonna be rough being single though over the last five years my wonderful wife slowly turned from a kind and caring person to someone obsessed with anti-vaccine craziness and thinking 5G towers are controlling our minds and drinking chlorine every day. She is going back to her home country of Japan so I will only have to deal with her. I’m afraid of being a single dad. I’m afraid of being single. Luckily my older son is 16 and very much on top of the world as I’ve been a good dad to him. It’s just gonna be rough, especially at night. I get so lonely. Anybody have any good tips they could share?

I know my situation is so much better than other people out there and I am so grateful to have my kids. I’m just freaked out. Something will happen to me or something. I’ve been diabetic since age 3, so I do have some health shit. I’ve got my will set up, but at the same time I’m scared for the future and wanna give my boys the best go they can get. Any tips on being a newly single Dad would be great greatly appreciated. Sorry if this sounds like a whiny rant, but the shit’s fucking terrifying. But at the same time, it’ll be nice to be free of her. My older son is a great kid in gifted, but my younger son is high functioning but on the spectrum, so it’s a lot to juggle along with my own problems. Thanks for any advice in advance, even if it’s just a kind of word.

OK, I’m an older player like 50, I’ve been playing Gacha about eight years and Nanally is one of the best gacha characters ever.

The whole cat girl Anime thing doesn’t really do it for me as it’s been done billions of times before, and even though I spent eight years living in Japan the only anime I really like is ghost in the shell, Gunsmith Cats and some Ghibli stuff I watch with my half Japanese kids ( except for world of golden eggs, which I’m sure nobody knows here), but Nanally’s ability to walk up the walls and stuff just kind of blows my mind as it completely changes gameplay. I think the developers were brilliant to make this the first limited character. It’s just so fun to play her and walk up walls and have the perspective change. That’s my old ass two cents.

OK, here’s my Cassandra post: canvas gets sued into oblivion, and we all get to move LMS yet again.

Don’t forget a whole lot of K-12 schools run on canvas too. The company is gonna get sued into oblivion and then institutions like mine, where we just moved from blackboard to canvas two years ago will have to move lms again. The funny thing is we’re just about to give up our old HR system, workday which fucking sucks to hell, to banner, which is more integrated with canvas in particular.

When I was five and six, my mom was in grad school and her best friend was my babysitter. The first time he babysit for me. My parents came home and asked what we did. I said Mom “we dress the Hulk and drag!” . Dude and my mom would take me to my first drag show at age 7 but it was 1980, he kind of became my adopted uncle- at least that’s what I call him except he makes me call him on Mother’s Day. In any case he went to a lot of parties back in the 70s in Arizona and this picture he shared is just awesome I thought.
