Finding love with 2 kids

I’m a single mom of 2 my ex is serving time in prison and won’t be out in a decade. ( drug issues) I rarely speak to him but when I do he gets in my head & tells me that he hopes I find someone that’ll accept me with 2 kids, someone that’ll take care of me & my kids. I’m young and this honestly gets to me I sometimes tell myself that I got to accept “reality” and that I’ll probably end up alone. Any advice?
