Hello @"Janet A" My friend and I have been reading your responses today. We agree that a private group is the way to go. Those with offspring may throw their pennies worth in or get on their high horse but they do not know our specific issues when it comes to support etc. (as much as they think they do). As my friend said, she would not be adding her totally honest tuppence worth in an open forum. We need the emotional support of others in the same situation and perhaps ideas of physical support when alone (my husband has flown off with the angels) as neither of us had any extended family. Yes, some ladies may not have supportive kids but maybe they have a partner or they have some supportive kids or siblings etc. Good luck with whatever way you go with this and thank you for raising the issue. Hopefully BCNA will start a private group for us childless ladies. Anne
