My wife has cut all ties with her entire family for 15 years. They abused her for many years. I have no family. She's 50 and I'm 46. We moved from Canada to Europe 8 years ago to work and live here. We have a daughter of 10. She is ALL of our life, passion, love. So all 3 of us have only each other. Coming from strange and rather difficult backgrounds, we are very protective of our daughter. Even so that we decided I work and my wife stays at home to take care of our daughter.

Since we have no friends and family, we relied on her school mates to befriend her. At the beginning when my daughter's local language wasn't strong, she made some friends in 1st and 2nd grade. But as years progressed, children in the school started to socialize less with her. They come to our house once in a while to play. But we don't allow them sleeping here (due to many reasons). Our daughter may go to some of their homes, but we are cautious. We don't allow her to sleep at their houses.

We are very cautious with our daughter about where she goes and who she befriends. A few months ago, a creep was seen around her school who ended up molesting 2 girls. This being Europe, the creep was let off without sentence because he was deemed mentally unstable....

So the question is: our daughter sees us for most part and we try to give her the best life has to offer going to parks, hotels, beach, recreation, cinema etc. How else can we socialize and entertain her so that she won't feel lonely as a child (she says she doesn't, but we think she needs interaction eith others).
