[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how many children to you have, how old are they, any of them married, and insight if they are choosing to be childless? [/quote]

This is a good question.  I see that OP is in pain, but her anger comes through very strongly.  She may alienate her children even if she thinks she is holding back and being careful.  I would see a therapist.  Whether your kids eventually procreate you want to maintain ties.  I’m not sure my mom realizes how her years of complaining about how I wasn’t interested in kids soured things even after I started a family.  And she believed she was holding her tongue, too.[/quote]

DP and I completely agree with you. OP keeps on saying she doesn’t judge her children’s choices but she sounds judgemental to the core. I would avoid her if she were my mom. [/quote]

Not op. There is nothing judgemental in what op posted. She is experiencing grief and expressing that at how things have turned out. People are allowed to feel grief. You and the pp are the judgemental ones. Can you not see that?[/quote]
