Does anyone else wish to get married and raise a family yet know that that is not the life for them?

I had a really messed up childhood. It will take the rest of my life to fix myself. I wish I could have a kid and raise it but I'm broken. Even if the mom wasn't there anymore I would happily raise a child by myself.

Yet I feel still a lot of pain if I think of such a life. Just the thought of it hurts. Even though the thought of having a child and raising them is a good feeling. The family life in general is what makes me feel sick.

Maybe it's due to my trauma. The idea of family is like toxic or something. It makes me depressed. I don't want to have a kid and boom, now it's time for nothing but work. Because raising kids is a ton of work.

I don't think I can live that life. If I was forced to do the work than I'm just forced to. But by choice? To purposefully have a kid. And then of course what kind of world is this. I know I don't want to live in this world, why raise a kid in it?

I'd love to have a wife and someone to love. But at the same time I love to be alone all the time. I could date. I could have sex. But I don't because I would rather be alone.

I wish I could find a girl to fall for and dedicate my life for our family. But then again, can you really trust these hoes? All that dedication for what? The child is the only thing that matters. The mother is a flip of the coin. You could be the best husband and she still cheats on you. You never know.
