I came across your website and it is when I though of sharing my feeling with you. I am 45 years old, divorced and have no children. Though, I am coming to terms with all this facts. Also I have a serious career deficiencies meaning I have no degree in education, I was a school dropout due to a personal family problem, sigh! and what I see now as the most complicated years ahead of me. Recently ,I moved from a big city to a smaller one here in Austria and I have found the job hunting particularly difficult for my kind of case. There are jobs that interested me once upon a time, like Sales, etc but I seem to feel that they are momentary and not very satisfying or upto mark.
Although, I am a very intelligent woman and have made certain some difficult evolutions lately and I find the single 45 year olds with no children very few and far between no make that non existant!. I also doubt that single people with no children have committment to other things at this time in their lives. Just to be inquisitive, I have now moved back to the place where I was born, to where my Brother and sisters have been married and have raised their children. I have also discovered that this place is now another town to me and I stingingly miss all my good friends that I had made in the other city. I have now started finding the place too narrow-minded for me. I am going paranoid at this moment of time. I am pleased, not actually happy that I have found this place to air my accusations to which I thought they are. I am virtually well, since, I have all my faculties and I have a mission ahead of me is all. Thus, I look forward to reading more on your site and hope all who will be reading this post are not too harsh on me for wanting to share something which is not too optimistic. I really thank you for this opportunity to write in your website, I feel so light by sharing my thoughts, this site has been a lovely experience for me, I just hope I havent sounded too depressing.
Pls give me your comments. I am waiting for your comments.!!!

:(

Hi Jamie, welcome to the Gang !
Life treats us in strange ways but the best part of it is surviving the turmoil just like you have done. :)

Default Not Divorced from Life
Hello Jamie,

Good to know that divorce couldn't take away life, totally from you. From your post it seems that you are a women of substance and strength, so why can't you overcome the mishap called "divorce". You have a long way to go. Education plays a major role, I agree, but lack of formal education can't hinder the path of a person who has alreday taken the lessons of life...

Look forward to the future with the endurance of the past and the strength of the present...

Keep smiling!!!!
Nancy

We read a lot about successful woman and their case when divorced. Is it that less educated or skilled woman can also stand separation on their will? What could be feeling of life without any one to share good or bad moments of life with some one .for this, I will be game, ready to listen and may be share.. Jamie

Jamie, allow me to discuss with you your past life. I am eager to know about you. Trust you would not mind. Jamie , you are Austrian ,normal house wife, but due to some estrangement , you and your husband decided to part ways. Now you have shifted to new small town and finding a small job .it is all interesting .correct me if I am wrong.
Jamie, since you are 45 and had no children , I am sure you have surrendered to nature that you have no child. you now how to live without family. So you are habituated .At your age, trust your husband may be 50+ or around? Ok, now you have no friend , in this town, tell me why are you feeling guilty as if you have committed any crime .there are many not less who have had NO child .\so what? You are not much educated , so you were not long time , you never felt bad that time so why feel now I understand , you are alone , then how about living fr future or you care to remember past? My advise is search for future not look for past. every one has some past or other .so what? Darling you never have committed any bad thing , be cheerful and live for tomorrow.
Yes, one thing , I am always ready to discuss with you whatever you and whenever you feel like write to me through this forum.

Well it seems this lady is natural what hundreds of woman could be. She looks more depressed than she should be. She is divorced but in modern world, no one si thrown out just like that. she is well compensated. Then having no friend or relatives could be personal problem. Many women live without friends or relatives. But then such situation tells them they should have made some efforts when she was in good position. she has not mentioned why she is feeling so depressed. any way, as long as she is ready to open new chapter in life , it is good.. Madam, No one will be ready to hear your bad fortune in past. be frank and cheerful woman and face new world. Now another thing, be selective with whom you want to share pleasant moments and life. No need to hurry but friend are needed.

I think Jamie , what more is hurting you is not having children ,is it so? Jamie don’t you think, you would have been worse off, had you got children? Divorce with kids on tag would have been more painful?
You are not old, just middle aged, if you remain playful and enjoy life, may be you may get a match , new man in life? Would you like to have one? Or feel like hating men and all that stuff?

hi jamie,

I feel divorce is no stigma.Always take things positively.. If it was meant to be , it happened. Remember there is always a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.. Always think that things happen for the best. Life has many twists and turns and this could unexpectedly bring good news for you..It could mean a new job, new person, a new location , anything.If only you think this way will you emerge a stronger and confident person ready to take on challenges and be a winner all the way.

At 45 years old, you are still very young and have lots of life ahead of you. Have you thought about going back to school and doing something that you really enjoy? What about travelling the world?
