MTJ-

I feel the same way...just insert mother instead of father...I was dating a guy from my Jr. yr in undergrad intil I was 28...he wanted kids. I did not. When he pressed me, I said I would have one for HIM, but he would have to do everything. I am an only child and never babysat. He agreed. I also said if it screwed up my body, he would have to pay for plastic surgery. He agreed to that. He wanted to know why I was so against kids and I said, " I would never want to do to another human what my mother did (or didn't) to me.". I really loved him, but I think in the end, this was why we broke up.

Now it is too late for me, and I will die alone.
