Feeling kinda sad today

I've been thinking about the fact that it will probably be a long time before I can even *think* about having another baby...and it's depressing. I loved being pregnant and I was so happy to get started on a family but now everything's all messed up. Who knows if I'll ever have another child. It just gives me another reason to hate the X even more I guess!

P.S. I realize I am so lucky to have my happy, healthy, perfect DS and I'm not downplaying that at all...I always just imagined he'd have at least one sibling. I guess I'm having a hard time letting go of the dream I had for the future.

    i feel the same way some times it makes me so mad the my ex could just walk away from the life we had started and then i think who is going to want to be with someone that has a baby from another man so you r not alone in feeling that way but at least the EX's gives us one good thing

    I found it a LOT harder to let go of the idea of the family we were supposed to be than it was to let go of my ex himself.  Hang in there.  We all have our sad days... and tomorrow is a new one :)

    That's tough, especially if you have friends who are already moving on to get pg with #2.  Try to just focus on the positive.  For me, when I was pregnant it was a horrible time so it's not even really something that I'm looking forward to again (although I want more children but it's an emotional hurdle that I'll have to overcome).

    I felt the exact same way, and still do sometimes. But I try to remember -- you never know what might happen.

    Darth, it wasn't too long ago that you posted you were 99% sure you were done having children. And now look! 

    Who knows what is in store for you. We all have sad days, but you will be fine!

    i feel the same way sometimes. its crappy that our ex's put us in this position. I know i should  say something uplifting, but i understand that sometimes you just wanna feel poopy for a while, and sometimes you just want people to say "wow, that is pretty shitty". I love surrounding myself with positive people, but in honor of those other days, I say to you, "wow, that is pretty shitty" Big Smile
