Hello there FL! It was good to hear that your date went well. My oldest son surprised me and flew in from Hawaii to spend time with us this week, so I've been away. I've had a great surprise this week! It was my Christmas. I love my kids so much FL. Without them, my life would be so much less.
I'm certainly not a "fixer" by any means, because my life mirrors so many here. But I do want to caution you - take it or leave it. One date means just that. One date. I know how it feels to have another listen when you've been beating your head against the wall for months or years. It's great. I missed having morning coffe with my love for so long and talking about anything - work, kids, life.
I also know that a connection with someone else is something that does not happen every day. It's really rare. So with that in mind, keep that good connection going, make sure your kids know that it's them who are important to you, and make that fine balance that allows everything to happen. It's a hard thing to do because what we want has to be put on hold for what our kids need. This I know. I managed to find a person who understood that. He still does. So be careful, have fun, and make sure your kids are OK.
