To think at this point I'll probably never have another relationship

Ok so I became a single mum early last year. Am mid 30's and have 2 young DC's, both have disabilities. Currently unable to work as childcare costs for youngest are unaffordable in my area, I don't drive and have to be at home at very specific times for my eldest who attends a special needs school. This is a world away from how I used to be, have always been employed since a young age, never had to rely on state for money etc. I've now been single around a year and a half and so far no new relationships but there is someone I like but I just assume I have too much baggage and nothing going for me to be seen as attractive anymore. Anyone been in a similar situation who can either confirm that I'm right or am I being ridiculous and not all men are as bad as I assume them to be sometimes...?!

Granted you have a few more 'hurdles' than some but there will be someone 'out there' for you. Learning to drive may be a help (generally).
Don't 'assume' anything.

I don't want to say you're being unreasonable or ridiculous as you sound very down Flowers however, I would agree with the other poster about not assuming anything. Your life is not 'written off' for lack of better phrasing. The right one will love you and your children.
