[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 763839, member: 3305"] I was an only child raised by a single mom who had me at the age of 17 and divorced my bio dad at 19 because he was abusive. So I was raised without knowing my dad and my mother didn’t remarry or have children while she was raising me so I was alone. My mother spent much of my childhood working, going to college, partying and moving from one place to the next. I had no stability. As depressing as my childhood was all I ever wanted when I grew up was a husband to love forever and children to love forever…a family. I got the family I always wanted. A beautiful family. Sadly bipolar and addiction were part of the equation and my dear husband and I lost one of our children on Thanksgiving day 2 years ago. Just a week before our son died (I still have his words in text) he thanked me for bringing him into this world and loving him. He even apologized for perceived wrongs he felt like he committed against me and other members of his family. I had raised a son with problems but he also had a huge heart and affected not only his family but also the world around him. He left an impression on the world that will never die. I do not regret ever having brought my children into this world. No life isn’t easy but if you believe it has purpose and meaning it is worth it. These are my thoughts. I wish you well with yours.
