Wanting another baby

Hi just ranting really but would appreciate some advice from mums who have been through this... I’m a single mum to two children I have always wanted a big family but after my sudden split and divorce 6 years ago that choice was taken from me. It’s been 7 years since I had my last baby and wanted another and I still haven’t moved on. I never get to go out and meet anyone so I have been single throughout this time. I would have liked to have met someone and settled down having more children by now but sadly that never happened and I’m getting older so time is running out. Every day since my youngest was born I have dreamed about having another baby it still really hurts and I don’t know how to accept it. I guess I feel bitter I wasn’t finished having children and it wasn’t me that decided to stop and now I don’t have that option. My ex is now married with 4 more children which hurts even more as he took that from me but still got the life he wanted. how do you mums cope with not having more children if you didn’t decide to stop? Will I always feel this unfulfilled even when I am too old to have another? Of corse I love my children and I’m grateful to have them at all, I just always imagined my life different and envy friends and family with 3+ children. Please help.

Also to add I have considered doing it alone but I want the full family package, I don’t want to raise another baby without a father in their life I see how much it hurts my 2 children. Having children with different dads is looked down upon in my family so I wouldn’t get any support. I just can’t see how any man would want to be with me at my age with my baggage it would be almost impossible for me to date in my current situation I just feel so lost and empty.

You might be better posting this on the relationships board as you’ll get more replies. If you report your post to mnhq they’ll do it.
