mermaid,

Your post really touched me. I, too, feel very shut out from my in-laws, people that I considered my family and who I treated as such. I don't want to hijack your thread but I do understand.
About the children issue, this is a major one for me right now. H and I did not have children and I would still like to have at least one of my own, but I am now in my late 30's and feel that time is running out. I do not want to jump into a new R with someone else just so I can have a child, but I am angry that the last 2 years of my life have been spent in this limbo while my H had a crisis, and I still have no closure...and no children.

God has a plan; I just don't see it yet.

Hugs.


Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
