Can you actually have a second chance @40

This is so depressing...too many romance novels mean that u feel that u can actually start over at 40 I guess...but here I am unhappy with my work, unhappy with not having made it so to speak...can thre really be a second chance should i even try????

Frustration....again?

What happens when you have a problem child and one 'non problem' child, and they are at each others' necks all day. I am exhausted frankly...I see my deviant ex in my son and sometimes....yes sometimes...I do wonder what I am doing fighting every way possible for that restraining order against the ex to protect the kids. Ths son could just go and live the ex ...he will turn out like him anyways! and that is the biggest biggest frustration in my life, that I am not able to do enough to steer the kids behaviour in the right direction. If things continue the way they are he will nd up exactly like the ex....not a minute goes by where I dont blame myself for being blind and having had a child with the ex......
