Dating as a single mum…any hope?

[Elodie576]

Single mum of 3 primary age children, one with quite complex SEN. Been divorced 3 years now and for the first time I think I’d like to meet someone. No interest in ever marrying again or probably even living together, but would like someone to enjoy life with. Is that a ridiculous idea? I feel like no one would want me. I’m 41 and have 50-50 custody if that makes any difference. Can anyone give me any hope?

I met my husband on a night out when I was a single parent of two primary age boys. We have been together 18 years now.

You will have no shortage of attention, but sorting the wheat from the chaff isnt going to be easy.

I think 50:50 custody will help, gives you childfree time to date. I am a lone parent and have found dating impossible.
