he is nursing his sick mother, who could die next month or live for 15yrs! of course he wants to be there for her!

i have 3 children one already grown and moved out one pre-teen and one a toddler.

recently as things progressed a little he admitted to me he cant stand kids and would always be there for me but not the kids!

so his solution was for me to go off travel have a life bring up my kids and then come back!???

am i missing something here?

i would have quite happily have helped him with his mum, shes lovely! but no, he couldnt share me and the kids in that way!

so after this relevation he still phones me almost every day, and is adament he can wait for me to be clear of the kids! and his mum to have our relationship!
he says hes been alone for years and can continue!

eh? adivice???
we are not together but had become very cose friends and realised well i did that i had much deeper fealing for him…

so i new what the answer was when he threw it in out of the blue… about the boys… weird as they actually really like him! no one would ver come before my sons.
maybe it was so odd what he was saying i needed to tell someone! to actually make it clear in my mind… it is only ever going to be friendship… keep telling me i need this one to sink in!!!! thanks everyone!

Is there a way I can boost my immune system to survive the trip as healthily as possible, or vaccine, or supplement I can take? Also, I will be taking my nursing 7 month old along with me. I’m thinking keeping her on the breast the whole time will cut out as much exposure she gets to possible sickness? I will be there for a week.

I’m located in Saint Louis, where I’m pursuing my master’s degree in Nursing.
I’ve volunteered for Nurses for Newborns, Saint Louis Crisis Nursery, and the Alzheimer’s Association, as well as participated in Washington University’s S.T.A.T.S program and shadowed two major surgeries at Saint Mary’s Hospital.

I’ve applied for grants through Travel for Good by travelocity and VFPServ, but those are very very competitive and I’m running out of time.

If you can spare 50 cents, even, to help me pay for the trip I would greatly appreciate it!
