Love after kids?

[Pickelsfortea]

Wasn’t sure where to post this but I guess it’s a relationship thing.

I’m 37 with a 3 year old, ex not involved in any way and never has been.

I know it’s the case for most people but I’ve always always wanted a family. It mattered so much to me. Yes, I know having a husband or partner doesn’t make it a family and we are still a family etc etc but ultimately I crave that love that I know it out there but I’ve never really had substantively.

Love dc but feel my prospects are not good with them in tow. I not only need someone who loves me but now also they must love/care for dc.

Not a lot of point to this post really but I’m finding it hard to make peace with how things have turned out.

I'm not sure if my tale will help give you hope?

I was a 37 yr old single mum of 2 when I met dh (he was 25!)
I was close to losing my home and really struggling generally as ex dh had met someone else and had literally moved away within weeks.

I had very little to offer anyone as I was skint and had almost no child free time. Not a great catch!

But I met someone and he loved me and all my baggage and no, it wasn't easy at times but 15 years later we are here to tell the tale and 100% a family.
