Wow...you and your daughters have been through the turbulance. I am a single divorced parent as well and in the dating world. Which I must say drains all of my energy. Really makes you wonder why we do it. I know that for myself...(I have only started the dating game for just over year) everytime I get trampled on or pushed down....this strengthens me. I learn from each relationship...and am strengthen to make wiser decesions and NOT settle for less than what I expect. I thank god for my friends..who are there to pick me up and brush me off...help set me back on my feet. So remember...don't beat yourself up too much over choices you made...because you are only strengthened from experiences. Best of luck to you and your children. Also remember that children are resilient. They are stronger than we give them credit for.
Take care!
Jennifer
