It's not too late for you.

I'm over 50, diabetic with other health issues (was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer a buncha years ago, didn't do Chemo and it just seemed to get better (mostly).

If I made sure the cancer wasn't still there/gonna spread or come back, I might be ok with meeting someone who already has kids, but I couldn't bring a new child into this world without knowing I have a good chance to be there for them till they are at least 18.

Actually when I turned 40 I pretty much gave up on having my own kids because most of my family croaked before the age of 50 (my brother was 2 years younger than me and died almost a decade ago now, my mom, grandmother etc all died before my age as well).

So yeah, no kids for me. It's why I went into teaching but now that is too stressful.

I'm ok with it now though, I honestly wouldn't have the energy to be a good father anymore (wish I did/would). Those roomates with the 1 1/2 year old would LOVE for me to come live with them and help raise their daughter, but I'm not in a good enough place in my life to do it. Working on getting healthier and even gonna deal with the cancer stuff probably, but yeah, till things get much better I just can't feel like I'd be a positive influence/force in other peoples lives for now.
