I've been a single mum for 3.5 years now. My DS is 4. In the 3.5 years I've dated people but they all turned out to be idiots and not serious. My ex was abusive.
Last night I had a dream, seemed vivid. I had met a lovely guy and I just had this feeling of pure content. I felt safe and happy, like this person was my best friend.
In reality I keep myself busy to try not to feel lonely. I think deep down this is what I want to find. I'm feeling really emotional now as I think I've suppressed these feelings of finding someone to share my life with. And after this dream it's opened a tap of emotions.
