Hello Micheal its great to have you here!
I understand that all this must be a very anxiety filled transition for you but fair play to you for making it! So many of us will never cross that line of self empowerment and rest in the idea that our lives are meant to be as other people tell us. Having very much being in your position in the past (although without children... which I am sure are a deep blessing) it can at times be a bit of a struggle.
Another member of ours Jonnie is/was (I'm unsure of the current status) married which a few youn ones and from my experience as one of the offline core members many of our members that do not use the net are also in the same position as yourself – so you are far from alone in all this.
Again well done on being so honest with yourself and welcome to the forum... I'm quite looking forward to getting to know you
Paddy
