[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newly divorced with full custody of one child and demanding job, interested like 14:13 on how long you dated before deciding to blend. I have not started dating yet, but I would love to meet a single dad with custody and blend.  I had great step parents and would be happy to expand my family that way.[/quote]

14:13 here, FWIW, I waited about 18 months from time of actually physically separating before I even went on a first date, again - despite a ton of pressure from friends and co-workers and even the pull of my own needs.  But I spent the intervening months getting my head on straight, figuring out how I was going to make life for DD and myself simply extraordinary, given my new circumstances, and slowly got "out there".  the main things was I had to be 100% good with myself before I felt ready to date again - my divorce was a surprise to me and shock to the system and even though I was the "wronged" party, I had to put all of that behind me in order to move forward.

good luck as you move forward and build a new and dynamic life for yourself and your DC.  It gets better, significantly better once you let it go and can be at peace with everything from the past.  [/quote]
