i am recently seperated and need to meet friends. I have 2 small children. How do u get out and meet new people and not feel guilty and feel that u are worth it. That u are allowed to move on

first you should not feel guilty about going out everyone needs sometime to themself and when you are a single parent you should make the most of the chances you get because there is not always a lot of them.
you could try to go out a little at a time start with an hour or two and build it up that might help you feel less guilty but again most single parents will still feel a little guilt when they go out even after a few years.
a lot of people who are just out of a relationship find it hard to move on but given time it gets better it is better just to not think about it and let it happen because the more you think about it the harder it gets to move on.

I had real trouble after the divorce, building what feels like a whole new life, and yet keeping the family one.
I was lucky, i have some incredible friends, that will drag me out
I found starting a part time college course helped too, other adults, with an interest in the subject, be it child psychology or i dunno accounting
. And if the course can help with a career or training, then it will benefit the whole family, not just yourself, (easing guilt?)
I also take my girls out at the weekends to organised events, like glow worm hunts, or potter in the woods, fun& educational but with other parents for adult conversation
.
I also agree with time, it can become easier,after some time; but then if its too much time, you start to adapt to being just mum, and its harder for all to adjust to mum going out.
This said, this its only what happened to me, and how i felt, we are all different, coming on here is a good start, means your taking control and looking to find the balance
