When people ask a woman that turned 40 years old whom: doesn’t have children, never been married, and not settled why that is? My answer is simply it is either delayed or denied. The important thing to know is that I desired a family of my own since childhood. However, let’s ask the more difficult question: Were you raised to be emotionally-ready to have these things? I would answer again in simple terms that “I used to feel I was until I got into my thirties.
Yes, many of us have experienced an abandonment by one parent that shaped us to view relationships very obscurely. Being raised where a toxic relationship was formed, it’s hard to break free the mode of finding stability. But guess what…it’s necessary.
Don’t get me wrong…I am a spiritual person that is connected with my faith, which lets me know that I will achieve the majority of my goals. Sometimes the unwanted questions make you feel like you’re a weirdo or undesirable as a mid-aged woman. Please don’t be! What is for you is for you. It will come, because what due process will show you, it comes when you never expect it.
