One of the biggest things you realize is that by being single, without kids, working a job with odd hours.... you become a virtual outcast to those with the husbands and wives and the 2.5 kids and the 9-5 jobs. They don't mean to do it, of course. But I'm sure I'm just this strange creature who they just can't identify with anymore. I'm reasonably certain I'm still who I always have been but.... now to them that just isn't the same or right somehow.

No regrets about it, just something I've learned to accept. I've tried keeping in touch but it's been all my effort, none on theirs. Don't really have a place to vent about it but here, I suppose.
