SP - Your W will at some point look back with regret. She has some reality checks coming her way.

Her future is much much bleaker than yours. Yours will not contain regret and it will have a couple of kids in it and who knows how many grandkids. Hers might have a splattering of that but lots of ' could I of done it differently '.

Its not our careers or ourselves that keep us warm and loved in our old years. Its our family. You have preserved your family and it might look a little odd at the moment but it will become the norm.

Chin up . I think all of us here feel what your feeling right now. It does get better.
