Im more stable this few years..
How ever,I didn’t investigated date sites for partners. I know I’m kind an old,but I began thinking every day about child.
If I find woman who is willing to go with me,I think I have at least seven years for child to remember me.
Don’t know if my genes would impact child’s brain in future…
You have a lot of challenges to overcome to have a child at 51. If you find a woman of similar age, the chance of pregnancy will be extremely low without medical intervention, even if they are not already past menopause.
Not telling you that you have to give up, but it will be a challenging road.
I miss having a little around the house and my wife and I discussed adoption. Honestly, I’m 57 and I don’t have the energy a child that young needs. We’re seriously considering fostering a teen, though. Might be workable there.
Thanks @SzSupportAdmin ,I think about strategy to get knowledge about that.I know lack of sleep,medical procedures,vaccs, changing dipers.
I’m pretty unsure about potential partner.
Honestly I don’t think it’s a good idea @zoa
I don’t want a child (soon to be 36).
I don’t know why people need to have children. I honestly don’t understand.
Children are not toys. You must be healthy, sane, responsible, caring.
Sory folks, just prayed and cried..
I will leave no one on this planet… I’m just devastated..
I have wasted chances..
When women thought having saloon is good job with good income,I had opportunity to get married any time.There were three of them,and I didn’t wanted to get involved just for sex.
Now it’s different. Thinking of having a child is giving more purpose in life,and I understand something was building in me until I realised…
Blues
I called my priest and talked with him. Said what’s on my mind. Explained how our woman are,and that I want child,and also told that there could be problems with my diagnosis,and they can take child if quarrel starts. They could use my illnes claiming that I am uncountable…
He said there you go,you are staying on earth with yor thinking..
Whilst I may get heat for saying don’t worry about the genes aspect. You should be concerned about the child not having a flexible guardian as she/he grows, things like travel to school or keeping the pantry full
I didn’t understand either until I became a father. Raising my daughter and now having her in my life as an adult has been the most meaningful part of my existence. No regrets.
You are lucky man @shutterbug …
You’re not alone on that front. I used to want a child but now, no. I think it’s for the best that i.never bring a little one here.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a child. I think you’re a good person
Thanks @roxanna 
Have you considered adopting a child
I presume you are a lady? I think it’s near impossible to have a child for a lady after age 50 naturally… if you are a man , then it’s a different story all together
How would you support a child for 18 years or more? I hate to be blunt but you’re going to find a woman who will marry a 51 year old schizophrenic and support the both of you plus a child?
@shutterbug she is beautiful.
I have to say, bringing life into the world….there is nothing else like it. No drug no experience of anything for me has ever come close to what it felt like when my sons were born. I was like wow I made that. Beautiful.
No children for me. I’ve struggled and I am still struggling with mental illness.
It’s just been a waste of time. No need to pass those genes on.
May I rot in hell!
oh wow she is beautiful @shutterbug no wonder you’re so proud…she’s a keeper…I see the movie stars in their nineties fathering children with twenty something years old women….the chldren will live perfect lives thanks to probably being born to a wealthy movie star I guess…I d k really…sad they won’t know them in their teens…probably bad huh?
