I Am Childless Not By Choice
Childless And Happy?... [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvXScNU6GAM]
I have long regretted not having had any children,coming from a toxic family my dream was to one day have a family of my own,a functional family and give my children the love and support that I did not get myself.
But life,sadly does not always work out the way we think it should,we make our biggest mistakes often when we are young and immature and often confused and a low self esteem and lack parental of guidance certainly isn't conductive to helping make the right decisions.I do not consider my life to have been a total failure,I achieved quite a few things but I cannot help feeling the void inside and knowing that I have missed on a most vital experience of life.
Sadly there are a lot of misconceptions about childless women,misconceptions which only add to our grief and the feeling of inadequacy and having missed out, most of us feel regardless of our age,we never quite get over it.
But no,we are NOT more immature than women who have had children,we have acquired our maturity in a different way than becoming parents and I have come across many women in my nursing career that are mothers and also profoundly immature.
There are many preconceived ideas regarding childless women,due to culture and religion.
There are also not many web site that will give real emotional support for women who did not have children NOT BY CHOICE, to help them deal with their grief mostly when it comes to "social infertility" women who never married and never met the right partner to have children with.You will find plenty about parenthood and the rearing of children in all its aspects.It seems we are the forgotten ones or "not all that important" in our society.
But I did find a video I wish to share. "Gateway women" is the web site for giving support and empowering childless women.
