> I have four kids, I am everything BUT lonely with them.

This is inadequate. Adults need "love" and companionship from adults in our lives. The love of children is inadequate; we must also have strong ties with buddies, pals, compatriots, and colleagues for mental health.

Children can never fully deplete adult loneliness.

In addition to this - having people "around" you - does not negate the fact, that you still can be lonely
