I'm in my mid-30s and divorced. I never had kids expecially becuase my ex didn't want that (which was a major reason for us getting divorced).
At any rate, I was recently poking around Facebook to loo at college friends and such. Most of the women my age have kids and these wonderful, big families. I feel like there is so much lacking in my life. All I wanted was to be a mother. I get reminded by my mother that I haven't given her grandkids yet...
It's just hard. It's almost a little too late, or so it seems. All my friends have kids and families and I am losing touch with them, too....since they now have these families and kids - their priorities are changing and I don't have anything in common with them.
How do I deal with this? I almost feel like this life-long goal of mine will never be.
