Hey, I thought I would be a great foster mom. In the absence of any relationship with long term potential, I'd created a nice vision for my life that included children from the foster care system. Then I met the father of my children. At 38! I had two children in quick succession. The marriage didn't last and co-parenting is pretty damned lacking.

I don't regret a second of it. I made the best decision I could based on the information I had. If I were younger, I would have held off on having children. When I met my XH, I didn't see him as a companion. Looking back, it's really hard not to see all of the red flags!

The dream changes, OP. We adapt to the realities we inhabit. I plan on marrying again, this time to a friend, a true life partner. You could double down on your dating efforts, OP, but life is gonna bring you what it brings. There's no guarantee a suitable someone is going to walk into your life any time soon.

Take care of yourself and your dreams as you see fit. Bringing your own dreams to fruition is not "settling." Take charge of your destiny. Make the life you want. Nothing to stop you! [/quote]
