New - need advice

I'm recently divorced from a jealous, insecure man. During our years together I gave up all my friends and any interests to keep the peace at home. Now I have no one except my parents and my kids. I don't know how to go about making friends. I feel so pathetic because I spend my weekends just sitting home watching tv or doing word puzzles. I worked so hard to keep myself isolated while I was married that I feel I have no social skills.
I'm not ready to date yet but I am ready to have a life! Has anyone else experienced this?

Sounds just like my EX... he even moved me 60 miles from my "hometown" to get me farther away from my friends.
I have reconnected with some of my friends from school... but I also make a point to just get myself out there... whether I'm at the park with my kids, the grocery store or school things... I just make myself at least speak.... say hello.
