Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hi, there's not a lot of members going to the parenting sub forum, so I'll put this here because I'm asking for your thoughts and advice.


I want to have a family, but obviously if I keep being single, it won't happen. I don't want to adopt or raise a child alone although they are people who divorce and raise their child alone.

However my biggest worries are how can I help my child, if he is depressed. What if he is intimidated ? When I was younger I was alienated, it was hard. There are parts of my life that I felt depressed. I'm still sensible, emotionally not stable... I sometimes see my mom breaking down, and I don't even know what to do, what to say.

I want to have a family, because I want to love the child, see their smile, watch them grow.

To raise a family, I must love living first isn't ?
