Great article! I am 37, divorced after a brutal divorce during which I was pregnant and my ex h threw me out and I lost the baby ten days later. It was my second loss, the first one was about 6 months earlier. It’s been a hard 8 years dealing with the questioning, the comments and the pain of the losses of the babies, my marriage, my husband, the physical and verbal abuse and eventually led me down a dangerous path of destructive drinking. It’s so hard to be so different, to be outside the mainstream in so many ways — no children, no spouse, no boyfriend and a recovering alcoholic. No one is interested in that combo :( I haven’t had a relationship since and often get dumped because I don’t have children, which is a particularly painful experience for me given my past. However I went to rehab, got help, lost a ton of weight, paid off all my debt, got promoted and don’t care anymore about fitting into this fucked up society. I plan to travel the world solo and learn more about yoga and enjoy every moment of my freedom :)
