...

I'm glad I didn't have sons too. I have two daughters and I bought my home a year ago after housing prices dropped.

I don't have to take handouts, I earn a good living and have a company car with free gas so I can afford to live in the country although I work in the city.

I was once what you refer to as an awesome woman, I fit your description very well. However, men now days don't live up to that bargain anymore. I tried three times, even married twice, but the men I chose couldn't let go of their childhood and handle their responsibilities.

I got tired of waiting for a guy that probably doesn't exist.

Since I gave up men, my life has been peaceful and much more financially secure.
