Has anyone dated as a single parent with full custody? How did you do it?
You've already gotten some great advice on this but I wanted to add to it. You've got so much going on right now and on top of it you've got a little guy. A little guy who's having a meltdown. Many would say, and I would agree, that he is JOB #1 for you - not dating. A man should be the very last thing added to the equation. Yeah, that stinks. It's not what was planned but this small child didn't plan to be born into all of this either. Things need to stabilize before dating comes into the plans. That will likely take years, not months and certainly not weeks.
As for your ex "not wanting to be a parent" - WTF - I mean what the ever lovin F. That ship has sailed - HE IS A PARENT. That makes things even harder on you. I can't even imagine. Just don't seek the answer as coming from a new guy. Certainly not at this point yet. You'll be okay. You may even be better. You don't need a man to have fun and feel fulfilled. You will be ready to add a man when you are having fun and feeling fulfilled. You'll then know it's time.
