[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 62812"] I think it also has a lot to do with what your expected role would be. I am a single mother and I do not date because my children are my focus; my difficult child takes a lot and easy child gets the rest. I simply don't have the energy nor the inclination to give to someone else. If I were to date, I would not expect, nor would I allow, someone else to parent my child. But that's just me. I'm a tad bossy. [img]:wink:[/img] Would it be easier if your role were better defined to be support for mom and not expected to play the dad role? I understand that you would still "live" with the behaviors of the child, but if YOU could detach from the child and let mom be the parent and your focus would be to be there for mom maybe it wouldn't be so difficult. Just a thought... Good luck. [/QUOTE]
