Oh you sweet girl! Thank you. I didn't want to have children either for the same reasons as you as well as a fear of becoming my mother (unhappy, mean). The decision crept up on me in dreams and I've never regretted it. I have no doubt that I have grown far deeper and more loving than I would have otherwise and in the process found many of my childhood wounds healing as I was able to become the mother I couldn't have--and I think my mother's gift to me was the clarity I had about what love really is... I'm a better mother, ironically, for the loving acceptance I didn't receive myself.
I know that one of reasons it felt so right was that I had a partner who was very conscious, very aware and mindful of the kinds of souls we wanted to call in to us and the kind of parents we wanted to be. We wanted children who wanted what we had to offer and it still thrills me to be part of a family who appreciates each other so deeply and shares enough values that being nurturing and supporting each other comes as naturally as breathing. I have no doubt that when the time comes you will be an extraordinarily loving, compassionate and wise mother. Thanks for sharing.
