mleigh,
To answer your questions. Yes, I have dated periodically, but most men in my area want a mother and a maid. Been there, done that and I'm not planning to raise another adult under my roof. LOL!

As for when people ask me why I was divorced, I simply stated that after 25 years of marriage, he had a melt down and flew the coop. People in today's society are more aware of what MLC is and no further explanation was needed once I stated what I did.
