Thank you for your sympathy. She is already a teen (just barely, 13) and she does seek out things that interest her, which I am glad about. It has not hurt her desire to learn new things. It has hurt her desire to learn them in school, but since I’m going to be with her on this journey, I’m going to try to make it as fun for her as I can.
As far as having kids, I do not blame anyone for not having them. I don’t think anyone should have kids unless they absolutely want kids. Kids are a ton of work and very expensive and none of them deserve to be unloved or neglected. I would much rather be one of the few parents in this world if kids are going to be treated badly. That said, I was 34 when I had my daughter and plenty of people have kids when they’re a bit older than that, so if you do want kids, you still have time to find someone. Either way, I wish you good luck in your life and my best to you as well.
