[QUOTE="nlj, post: 652426, member: 17650"] I think that's the same with me. I'm very wary of making new freindships and disclosing anything about my son or about my step-daughter's birth-mother. I've had experience before of sharing stories with someone in confidence only to find that she had told a load of other people. It was the swift end of that friendship. I tend to make shallow new friendships, such as women at my crochet circle or at yoga. They're friends to say hi to and have a cup of tea with, but I say very little about my personal life. I have a small group of close, long-standing friends who have known each other since we were teenagers in college and one who has been my closest friend since we met at nursery school at age 4, but she's more like a sister really. I dated a lot after I finally got rid of my first husband, but my son was away in university then and it was before he became too off the wall. I can imagine that it must be difficult, although honesty is always best I think, but not too much info too soon! When I met my second husband he was the single father of a baby and had an awful lot of baggage. That didn't put me off though. If it's the right person, then the baggage doesn't matter so much.
