[quote=Anonymous]Different situation - and I hope it's okay that I'm posting here - but I also have an only and really struggled with wanting to have another.  My XDH had an EA shortly after my DD, now 7, was born.  After spending a couple of years "working on the marriage", he left me for his AP.  At the time, loosing the hope of having another DC was one of the hardest parts of all of it.  While I was going through a separation and divorce, many of my friends have gone on to have 1 or 2 more kids.

Now, while it's still technically possible that I could have another, I've come to terms with it for the most part.  Really, it's because I had to.  I just could not hold out hope given my situation, and I didn't want to rush into a relationship just for that reason.

I agree with others that there are many benefits to having just one DC, and like you all, I too, cherish my DD immensely.  I don't think there is an easy answer here, but I wanted to offer my support.  And share that it is possible to come to peace with having just one kid, and feeling happy with that.    [/quote]
