[quote=Anonymous]Do you belong to a religous community?  We have found community in ours.  There are many different options for every beleif system.  I would suggest that as a place to find other families.  You have to work at it. Be the one who has the party/diiner/event- even if you have to host all the time.

Also, you know that just because a child has a sibling, does not mean that they will have a less lonely experience like the one you would like to avoid.  You have the evidence with your DH and his sibling- in that they are not close.

I made a similar decision after our first was born fairly easily.  I did not want to go through all the hoops either.  We did end up having a second, but not after I did all the work to be comfortable having one child.  :)  It does take work, you might talk with someone to help you through it if you can't find peace after six months or so. Concentrate on the positives (and there are).   How does your DH feel about it?

(((Hugs))) allow yourself to mourn, be kind to yourself in the meantime.  Just remember, very few get what they expect regarding children.  [/quote]
