Already Decided I Don't Want Marriage And Kids. Does Anyone Else Feel The Same?

[Tinyflame]

I love kids, especially from the 0-6 age. I think I would have been a good nurturer, but a bad disciplinarian. I couldn't have done it without a strong and stable spouse, I would have doubted myself too much. I think that's part of what never compelled me.

I've decided that as well...but I've made a more important guiding, overarching decision--that decisions needn 't be commitments.

In other words...I am not only free to change my mind at any time in the future...but that until my "symptoms" are less a factor in my life...my decisions are less likely to reflect my underlying nature/desires, but more likely to be "reactive"..a matter of the fight/flight motivation that skews all decisions, and is basic to a PTSD sufferers M.O.

I hope you'll give yourself the freedom to be flexible, and to change your decisions, as well as allow yourself to change, as well.

Took me far too long to begin to do so.
