Is there anywhere to make local friends? I’m 19, doing an apprenticeship and live in Kent, I don’t know anywhere I’d be able to make friends and even find a girlfriend at some point ❤️ anyone in a similar situation?
I am estranged from my dad, his decision when I was 14 and he was very present in my life until this point. It was not my choice at all and if I had my way I would have gone round his house less (5 days a fortnight to like 3) because I was going to start year 11 (where there are important exams in the UK) the following year. He stripped me of that choice and now I’m 19 with a career that I knew he would have wanted me to be in (when you’re rich you need to look after me jokes all the time).
I sometimes think about trying to reconnect, partially closure, partially because he’s my dad and partially because I have a non verbal little brother who I’ve missed out on for 5 years (he was 6 nearly 7 when I lost contact and now he’s 11, about to go to secondary school and I don’t want him to forget he has a big sister who loves him). If anyone has advice I’d love to hear it!
