Totally not diet related, but you are the only people I can talk to about this. I feel I know you and you are my friends. (Warning, this is very pathetic.)
Got some news today. Not my news, nothing to do with me, and, in fact, it's lovely news, but I'm devastated. A good friend of mine, still a teenager, is pregnant and her parents (and his) are delighted.
My problem - I,m late thirties, can't have children with DP (he'd leave) and am unlikely to have one now full stop (unless I win the lottery then I'm going for sperm donation). What adds to this though, maybe is even worse, is that I know that if I had got pregnant at that age (or even now) my mother would be so very unsupportive. Probably tell me to have an abortion.
If I mention my friends pregnancy I know she'll moan that she's throwing her life away etc, and if I tell her I'm jealous she'll tell me I'm not, and refuse to listen. She's not very good and accepting and acknowledging I have emotions.
I'm just so, so upset about it. I see my friend most days so can't avoid her for the next seven months, and my heart is going to break every time I see her. I am so tempted to go and open a bottle and not stop. (I won't, as I'm too scared of BIWI's big stick, but still!!!)
