When you don’t have a social circle, when your friends are dispersed, you don’t have a safety net. And a mom without a network is like a nomad alone on the steppe. You must be completely self-reliant. There is no fallback, no extra hands, no default. You might have a friend or two you could holler at to help, but there’s no guarantee of casseroles when the family has the flu. No one’s going to take your kids when you’re too sick to get out of bed.
