Was brought up as a lone child ,brought up by g/parents---Mother died when I was 3 , father remarried and I HATED new wife!!
Lived in a tiny village and other kids were much older, have always been a loner, LOVE my dogs and husb,like being on my own, do email and phone occasionally those away or too old/sick to go out.
Am very happy with the situation and don't feel weird.
