I have debated long and hard about injecting my views here, BUT:
First let me say,
Pac55 You are totally correct in that what has transpired in your life recently is no ones business but your own, and I wish you the best of luck. Sorry but my personal opinion is you, or anyone else in the same situation, are going to need all the luck you can get. And that is based on the history of Gringo involment in this type of situation, not in any way directed at you personally. I admire you for your stand in this matter, but having seen and read of many simular casses over the past 14 years, and from my own experience with marriage to a latina, I am firmly convienced that the deck is stacked against you! Hopefully you will be able to defy the odds my friend.
Secondly
Steven1 my friend; sorry but you are full of crap in a lot of what you have posted here concerning older people and raising Ch*ldren. You obviously no nothing of Latin culture and as is all to often the American way, you are trying to judge based on American customs, morals, and norms. There are many many Latinos who have Ch*ldren in their 50s; and it is not at all uncommon for them to do a better than average job of raising them to adulthood and much better than do their younger counterparts. You seem, also to be basing a lot of what you say on what would have maybe been correct 50 years ago when the average life expectancy was 60-65 years for a man. Today it is approching 80. And we are on average healthier, more alert, and much more physically active today. Hell my father died of old age when he was younger than I am, and he sure as hell was not plucking young latinas on an almost daily basis.
Based on current norms and using Pac as an example, he can under normal circumstances expect to be albe to be an active father and live to see his daughter reach the age of around 30- about the same as many my age were able to enjjoy our fathers. Anytime you father a Ch*ld, you are taking a risk in a lot of ways; people die in their 20s, young fathers have accidents and can not care for their Ch*ldren, and all to often divorce seperates young fathers and their Ch*ldren. The age at which you become a father is just one of many factors that can affect the ability to raise that Ch*ld.
As I, and others, have said, too many people on this board lately are not getting enough

and have too much time on their hands. Personal lives, whether it be a fellow CRT member, a puta, or anyone else, should be just that,
personal. I have no problem with expressing personal opinions, hell I do it all the time,(I am doing it right now), but it needs to always be impersonal and stated as an opinion not as fact.
All of the above crap is JMPO!!!
