Never thought it would happen
22 months ago
I had given up on meeting anyone. My MOTHER had given up on me meeting anyone (that’s how bad it was!). And coming from a bad family situation, I wasn’t sure I wanted anything to do with the whole “wife, mother, family” thing anyway.
Ended up meeting a guy with 2 very small kids from a previous marriage, so got the whole package right off the bat. It’s been over 12 years and the kids don’t remember a time without me. I’ve been able to give my kids everything I didn’t have—and that doesn’t mean money and material things.
There are days when I think “what the heck were you thinking?”, but mostly, it’s pretty wonderful. And it gets better as the kids get older, which is good.
