So after a divorce and infertility I’ve ended up middle aged and facing later life with no family.
I’ve no siblings and currently have my dear, elderly mother.
I’ve currently got lovely, close friends, a good job I enjoy, active social life, pets etc.
But I’m aware in 30 years I could have none of these left and I can’t help but feeling worried that life hasn’t turned out how we feel it will with marriage and kids and people around you in later life.
I don’t know what I want from this thread. Maybe people older than me can tell me how it has panned out for them, or other middle aged people who can relate.
I’m feeling a bit disappointed and worried but then I realise I’m still privileged to have a happy, stable life with a lovely home and friends so perhaps I should just be grateful. It’s a hard one!
