How I am childless from choice and now 54, during my twenties and thirties I found this to be a difficult time as a lot of my friends having children could understand my choice (despite me being in unhealthy relationships ) the pressure from my peers was more than from my family. And the feeling I was less-of-a-woman because I made this choice

I am a new empty nester and this new chapter in my life is amazing. All 3 of my boys are out of the house, and although I thought I would do better than most moms, my joy, aliveness, and happiness are not at all what I thought. I am very close to my boys, I worry about them, and I connect with them often, but I am extremely happy with this new phase of my life. I have been an entrepreneur since they were very young, and I love that I can now focus on growing my business and taking on new hobbies. In a sense, I feel like I am just getting started, and I wish more women felt this way!

I left my career when I was married because my then husband was unhappy. We moved 109 miles away so he could follow his dream; however, I was left alone most of the time. I was resentful and unhappy. He started drinking again.
