[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did great having my first and only son at 41, did step aerobics right up until 4 days before delivery ... Thrived and was so happy doing things with my son and our little family.  Happier than ever with life until my husband left me after 27 years of marriage ... My parents were dead, no brothers or sisters ... Now my son is 17 and it is very hard ... His dad is somewhat involved in his life, but my life is lonely and hard and I feel sad and alone. A new relationship with new man didnt work out, at 59 I feel broken and burdened with the tough teen years and how to handle my son.  Not having siblings or parents for support.  [/quote]

To be fair, your issues do not have to do with AMA.  Your issues are from a broken marriages and from having no family support.  You could have had a child at 31 and your husband left you after 17 years of marriage and everything else could have been the exactly the same.[/quote]

and wouldn't you rather be 59 with a son than 59 without?  Then you would truly be alone![/quote]
