Oh, yes, this is my forum home too. I thought the suggestion was to make a private thread here. We can always PM.

I wish we could Princess...we had one at one time, but it is my understanding that we cannot have one now. I'll check with Dotsie and see if that is still true. It would be great if we could because there are someeeee subjects all of us would love to participate in but don't because of the privacy factor.

PM is an option, but I think (and I'm not sure about this) it would have to be done one at a time.

princess, i made same type of decision young too then cmented it in earlie twenties, looking back it would have been a disaster if i had concived, well i think it would have been. I had a lot more to learn through as well as clean up the messie stuff.
I got pregnant late as you know as just in the nick of time biologicallie wise and also after i had given up hope on carrieing full term.
i still learning and still sorting but hopfullie what i know, what i descovered, what i changed in myself...is enough for the wee man.

FOREVER is a big word and what i relised when i read your post back was i had desolved any responcibilite that belongs to lucien. Hear this the right way, stuff happens we get hurt, we grow up then we become reponcible as to how we live our lifes theron in. That was the process for me as it is for manie of you.
Even with the best of my best intensions and abilitie, i pass on stuff to lucien, and its his responcibilite to not live from the yuckie stuff,
pheeewww think i got a bit gripped with yuckie stuff to the point that my desiree not to pass stuff on outweight the normal process of responcibilitie and learning and concise living that even my wee boy has to go through lol. imagine lol.
i may still want it to be the easiest pass for him and hopfullie it be easie enough and without the big messie yuckies that life can vest on the young.

it's interesting, this decision to have children, to not have children.
I know this: My mother did not want children. If I were concieved in another time, I would have possibly been an abortion. I am just pleased to be here. Jack Nickelson says the same thing as I do because apparently he would have been one too!

I'm glad my mother was stuck with having children, despite how she felt. I'm just glad to be alive that way.
dancer, off the topic of the original thread.

Quote:

I believe there was a forum on childless women, and I think I revealed that the main reason I did not want to have children was because I did not want to visit upon them the insanity of my family. I made this decision at 15 years old.




I made my decision not to have children when I was around 19....then it was confirmed when I was around 24. I remember just feeling nothing...not excited ..when a close friend of mine was excited about her own pregnancy. I was not sad, I was not jealous. I felt nothing. And at these moments in life, a person does ask: "Am I normal?"

For all the stress that my parents experienced having us, they still felt for a few years that it was not normal that I didn't want children. So I had to resist that unnecessary pressure...particularily from them.

However I know my decision was greatly affected by witnessing the stress of childraising through my parents. And seeing how childraising could (but not always) affect the individual happiness ..of a parent. And how they had to squelch personal desires and natural skills...to spend time and energy loving and raising many children properly.

There are times, if I sound/am shallow, egotistical. Most likely there are. But at least I'm not one of those Sex in the City gals who want lots of bling, sexual attraction, men, etc. Some of my earlier life experiences growing up, have grounded me ...forever.

on the privicy issue. iv been heer little over a yr. I don't trade on-line in celtic name, i don't have a picture of myself beside my name so no one would recognise me propablie even if i had a picture beside my name. Although with a bit of digging pictures been put on in relashion to some subjects that i been iinvolved in.
I wouldn't reallie say stuff heer that be hell if it was traced back to me. Putting all bits of the stuff thats identifiable together then youd have to kinda far read to find out all the stuff, so i feel safe enough heer to start talking about the stuff thats been my childhood and my adulthood experinces.
Mind you its taken me nearlie a year to go beyond what i'd say to nearlie anyone intrested in off-line frendships, saying that i wouldn't discuss certine stuff off-line anyway but i have on heer.
I feel relativlie annonimise and just getting free enough and safe enough in feel to be more open and less garded.....thinik i am kinda luckie that when all considered i still am annonimise, i know its not the same for everione some have bussinesses, they want to protect some have frends or relatives they'd want to protect.

if more of you are actulie quite annonimise and can't be traced back to real life ..life lol. Then whats the thing stoping you saying more (this to everione and no one in particulare) i know it took me 1 yr to feel this way and i not to sure it took that long, what are your reasons?
