I left behind all of my friends over a year ago when I relocated to a new city. I work from home and care for my son all day, so I have few opportunitites to interact with other adults other than my husband. I feel VERY isolated.

You didn't say whether you relocated because your husband got a transfer, but I'm guessing he did. His life has stayed mainly the same (job, come home, family.) but yours has changed, and not for the better. Y ou need to feed your spirit so you can be a growing happy person.
Here are a few Suggestions
Put your son is day care once a week so you have some time to yourself when you're not working.
Then....
Join a church...it's a good place to meet people.
Go to the gym...you'll meet people there and you'll feel better after working out.
Check your local paper that gives meetings of things that interest you and go...whether it's a knitting group, a hiking club...whatever.
Try out for a sport team, choir...whatever you enjoy doing.
You owe it to yourself to do things that make you happy in your new environment. Once you start getting out, you will meet people and make friends and feel much much better.
Good luck!

Join a volunteer group or a mother's group. Take an adult education class at the local college or a Learning Annex. Do you enjoy reading? Join a book club. Making friends is just like dating...you have to put yourself out there!

Does your son have a disability the requires you to care for him, or is it that he is a new born? Get out if you can and go to a coffee house/book store and mingle, join a group for whatever your interests are....do not stifle yourself or you will run yourself ragged.

Get out and get involved. Where ever you are there are tons of opportunities to get involved in local charities or events. This is also a great way to meet people who share the same passions you do!! Its truly a win win situation!!

Then try to contact your friends you left over a year ago. You might get to see them again!
