Have been with dh for 14 years, never has our 15 year age gap been an issue. Dh is pretty fit and has a healthy lifestyle. I turned 40 this year and was fortunate to have second dd last year after a few years of fertility problems. Also have a dd who is 8. Dh is a good dad and currently the girls have a lot of fun with him etc. I'm not sure if I am having some kind of mid life crisis but all I can do is look to the future and see myself being on my own at a relatively young age compared to friends who have dh's in their 40's. I fear for the girls too. I also gave up work recently and struggle to see the future apart from this awful bleakness. Dd2 needs a minor op soon and that's playing on my mind my anxiety has spread to worry that something bad will happen to dd's and now I seem to be living some hellish half life. I have just started counselling. I regret not having more dcs and currently trying for third dc even though chances are v. Slim. How do I get this anxiety out of my head and get on with the here and now just doesn't feel like this anxiety will shift, nothing can stop time moving on.
