So my BF and I have been seeing a counselor about dealing with the kids (his kids) issues. The last few times, I have been going alone. Today I finally asked the counselor on the way out if she had kids. She smiled and said "no, never had them, never wanted them" I almost burst into tears I was so happy!!! LOL!!!!

I run into many many people who never had kids, and didn't even give it a thought. Find more of this in the bigger cities than the smaller ones.

The choice to have children or not, the choice to marry or not, is nothing more than a LIFESTYLE choice and not any "requirement."

Yes, I do too. And I had not given being "CF" much thought before. I never thought it was a big deal, but I was married to a CF guy. I divorced, started dating and now I live with my BF who has 2 kids. They don't live with us, but there have been some issues we needed to work on. It's sort of funny that I made an assumption because she is a "family" counselor that she had kids and she doesn't. I know they are not supposed to really share their own feelings or situation or whatever.....but it just made me really happy to know that she is CF and wonder if that is why she is SO good at helping me!
