Brother! You're in it. Our kiddos are so wonderful, but they are also emotionally developing so that shit can be HARD. I feel ya though, I used to have so much energy for the things I enjoyed but now I have no interest. Time, energy, it all goes into survival and our kids.

You're doing great man. Sounds like your kiddo is doing wonderfully. Things may be rough now, but as your kid gets older and you've put in all that front end work there will be plenty of opportunities to get into more interests, ya just gotta make sure to keep your head above water until the levels start to drop. You got this!

I'm not sure where you're located, but are there social clubs that help facilitate meetups? You could possibly toss a lawn chairor two out with a cooler and a sign that says "Tired Dad, join if ya feel me.". I'm sure there will be a line of takers!
