Hi Deneb,
I know how you feel. I feel very immature, and as though all the other moms are so mature and so much more confident. I just don't feel my age at all. I have 4 kids, and sometimes I feel more like I'm a teenager than an adult. My daughter says I'm not like the other moms, but in a good way according to her.
I have been more fearful over the past 3 years. I started back to school, but take it online because I can't go there. Lately I can't do anything social, and I try to have my husband do all the school stuff with the kids, which of course makes me feel really guilty.
I completely understand about wanting to fail so you won't have to take on responsibility. It can be really scary to get out there. I guess though that the more we do this kind of stuff, the worse it gets. I guess if we can find a way to take baby steps it will get easier.
A virtual world, where you can work and earn money, as well as socialize online would be wonderful for people like us, wouldn't it?
