You're so welcomed
I think that you're thinking in the most unselfish way and I admire you for that. Your 9 year old will be fine. I have a cousin who's an only child and have better friends than most people I know. You know what they say "you can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends." I have found myself asking why wasn't I an only child, sometimes
If you feel it in your heart that your decision is the right one for you, follow it no matter what. My decision is the most unselfish act I have ever done. If it's not right for me, is not fair to the child. My family doesn't see it that way, on the contrary they think its selfish and egotistic of me. But only hb and I know the real reasons why and we're at peace with our decision
