I will be having my divorce be final in a couple weeks. My children have been through a great deal of turmoil the last year, especially with their SD. I have been getting lonely once in a while but I know that I am nowhere near ready to date. Once I do feel I am ready- would really be fair to the kids for me to bring someone else into their lives?
I don't think it would be but I would appreciate the input from you ladies.

I have been divorced for almost 3 years, but I was separated for 3 years before the divorce and I never dated. Not because I didn't want to, mainly because I really didn't have the time with raising two kids on my own and I really wanted to concentrate on them. Now, I feel I wouldn't even know how to date! My parents, sister, friends all think I should start and move slow. I do get lonely at times. My kids are 12 and 13 now, and they even want me to date :) They say I need a life. LOL - I know many women who date different men and introduce them to their kids, and I do NOT agree with that. I feel that if you are going to start dating again, only introduce your kids to a man that you know pretty well and have been seeing for at least 4-6 months and feel things are getting serious. good luck :)
