Thanks for this post and being conscious that other women who struggle with infertility may never have kids as you were able to. Even after years of trying. A touchy subject but you did so tactfully.

I finally conceived my son after 10 years of trying; he is now 2. Shortly after his birth I required a hysterectomy. My BIL and his wife just announced they are pregnant with their 3rd. They take their children for granted. I can’t find happiness for them at this time—this article gave me some things to think about.

I work in an office full of lovely people, most of whom are far, far better off financially than I am. I stew in jealousy & envy, listening to their stories of vacations, sometimes several a year, while I am barely scraping by week to week. I’m the caregiver/provider for my 2 younger siblings ( we’re all adults, they just have issues that were never properly addressed growing up) and partially for my grown but still lives at home niece. I’m the only one working aside from my niece, and I barely have money to buy myself Starbucks every day, and I just want to cry or scream hearing how much fun they have & how happy my coworkers are.

This reading about “other people’s happiness ” really struck a cord with me. As I currently struggle with work issues and not feeling appreciated, I was able to see another side of the coin now, after reading this. I feel left out of not getting an award that someone else brought home, makes me feel embarrassed, not worthy, and sad. Why not me?? It was refreshing to read your blog and get out of “poor me” mode. It isn’t healthy(but human) and it drains me of the person I am and the person who I want to be.
Grateful!
