Not everybody is good at raising children, If I had life to do over I would have a vasectomy at the age of 12.
Christ! That is the most depressing thing I've ever heard. And please don't tell me that you got a girl pregnant when you were only 12-years-old.

Welcome back Ward.
Sad to hear your marriage ended.
I personally believe it is one of the most difficult
things to deal with. Happy to hear your on the right track.
Getting it right in your mind is key to any future success with anyone else.
Equally important in getting yourself right.

As for Kids, at 45 your not to young, trick is finding a women that can and
is the one you wish to do it with. Age gap is fine as long as both understand
life, goals and differences.

Tell us your story if and when you're ready.
There is nothing permanent except change.

I understand that, but it ain't Ward's problem is it? He seems to have done ok with his.

I used to think that I was an amazing dad but over the last year I've had to deal with some things that have really made me question that.  I'll probably end up talking about that some time. I'm doing much better now but I've just not felt like share much here yet.  Sorry.

I am 72, my wife is 50, and our son is 12. You do the math. We have a stable and loving relationship between us and the only negative thing (if it can be considered 'negative') is that people assume I am his grandfather.

Wow!  :o

There are some on here that feed off others pain.

Spurious claims about 'seeing action' with the Blue Berets are debunked >here<

I don't know. I keep going back on forth about things in my mind trying to put it all together.  Now I just kind of want to move on.  But it would be good to get some insight from you guys about things.  I'm not sure how far back to go or how much detail to include.  I think I might just go back to the beginning and share everything chronologically.  But I should probably start another thread for that.  Or start where I left off talking about Mrs. Novosibirsk before.  No, I think I will start a new thread.

I found the thread there I posted about her first visit and realize it is in a special area that not everyone can see.  I must have done that to "protect" detailed information from public view.  That just sounds stupid to me now.  Should I start a new thread beginning with a copy/paste of those old posts or is that TMI?

I can move the old topic if you want, Ward? No need to copy paste. Shoot me a PM with a link and where you want it putting.

What do you guys think?  Mrs. Novosibirsk just turned 30 this year (15 year age gap) and I was beginning to worry that if we didn't start soon it would be to late for us.  Is a 15+ year age gap (for healthy children) reasonable (with either a US or Russian woman).
I am 72, my wife is 50, and our son is 12. You do the math. We have a stable and loving relationship between us and the only negative thing (if it can be considered 'negative') is that people assume I am his grandfather.
Wow!  :o
The point, of course, is that when things mesh (of their own doing) then "too late" is in the distant future. When I say "of their own doing"  I am thinking about how one meets someone else. I met my wife by chance waiting for the električka in Košice. Natural. Internet contact doesn't appeal to me and anyway I wasn't looking for a mate.
