Dear Gransnetters, I need your help and wisdom. I am so upset for my DS. He lives in Boston in the USA and works incredibly hard in his job, which involves a lot of travelling across the States and South America. He is visiting us at the moment and I happened to announce at dinner another of my friends is about to become a Grandparent - DS knows the expectant couple. My DS is normally very quiet and on an even keel, but he went into a complete state of angst, saying he is 35 and has no house, no girlfriend, no likelihood of a wife or ever having a family. He has never given any indication before that he feels this way. I was really upset and didnt know what to say to him at all. Does anyone else have 'kids' of this age who are single? or any idea about what I can do or say to help him?

There is plenty of opportunity at any age to meet someone and form new relationships. A colleague who is 50 and never married or dated suddenly met someone and they are now living together.

Our DS is feeling the same waysad. His marriage broke up 8 months ago and now feels in his mid 30's he's starting all over again.

No children and they've always rented which as things have turned out is a good thing but he's in Aus. where she wanted to be and although he loves it there, it's such a long way from family and friends whose support is so important right now.
