Never planned on being a single parent. Having brought up my stepson 1996-2007 to age 18 I thought I was done.
Now with an almost teen and one not far behind, both mine biologically I approach 51 in single Dad mode having kicked their mum to touch at speed.
At least something amazing came out of such a stupid marriage. A total waste of 5 years of my life and bank balance but at least I have two reasons to be happy.
