Hi HWA It's good that MIL and ex best friend have finally made contact with you Don't worry about the little things like what she wrote in your card, it's awkward for them as well you know. My MIL still calls herself mum, though I just got a cheap card out of the box this year. As regards to your dating prospects, you remember when others asked you if you're ready yet? They said it may take years, but it is an individual thing. I've found a couple of good websites that I'll send you via FB later. Firstly you need to embrace your single life, do activities with your friends and your sons. Don't worry about trying to find a new person in your life just yet, one will come to you I know this to be true because if I'm just concentrating on me and my son then I get a lot of attention Others like to see that you're busy doing other things besides waiting around for that special person to come along. Secondly, who or what is the first person or thing that you wake up thinking about? If it is your W, then you're not ready to move on yet. You have to get over her first before you can consider another R. I don't think about my H anymore, but I do think about my wish list and I don't think this is healthy either, lol. At one time during the holidays all I was thinking about was my wish list and nothing else. I've got myself together again and looking for things to do with my son and my friends. It's important that you're not blinkered. I know you're doing a lot with your friends already and that's good I've thought about looking in the local paper to find other things to do and events to go to. There's not much going on over the Christmas holidays, so I get stuck for things to do. We've been to town a few times, but that gets boring after a while. We've taken ourselves off to other towns as well during the holidays, which adds a bit of variety Anyway, I'm sure that everything I've told you here is what you already know, but I hope there's a bit of a light bulb moment in there somewhere Just adding my 2 cents worth
