I did not have children. I knew at a young age I would not. One time I did get the urge...the 1st year or so of dating my husband (x now). I'm glad I did not. I work with children and families - now that I can handle and I find it does fill emotional needs. The hard thing is that your friendships change. Your friends with children do seek out other friends with children. I understand - when we do get a chance to get together the bond is still there.

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
Thanks for this!
