Vent: Dating as a single mom
So I realized that a lot of the reason why I have put up with my "situation" is because of how hard it is to date as a single parent...who works full time...and goes to school full time...is active in her kids' academic lives. I remember how tough that was finding someone who was ok with my lack of availability and that I was able to connect with. I know he's not the only fishy in the sea and there are others but it makes me just want to give it up man. He's such a jerk. Tonight he texted me that he wants to have sex and I just didn't even respond to that 😢. I haven't been so sad since my divorce over 8 years ago. I kind of wonder what I've done and I'm reflecting really hard right now- what really horrible thing have I done in my life, to not have a happy ending in my love life already? I must have...I really believe in karma...
I think the saddest part is how attached my kids have become to him. He and my older daughter keep in contact pretty regularly via text and phone calls. My younger daughter thinks he is her dad because he is the only man who has ever been around her. Her actual father came to California for a week and spent 2.5 hours with the girls out of the entire time he was here. It really sucks for them because I feel like kids are the ones who really lose out the most.
