Among the challenges that solo parents face once they launch into the dating scene is how you can manage their children and dating. For single parents, the dating process is a lot more complicated as you will find a lot of others within the mix you need to consider. Also it becomes particularly complex in case your children let you know they do not such as the new person you are dating.
What exactly is the next step should this happen?
Well, it’s first of all vital that you identify why they are not warming for your new partner.
Studies have discovered that 50% of youngsters with separated parents possess a ‘reconciliation fantasy’ that may last for as much as ten years following the divorce (Phil W, 2008). This means that for approximately ten years, there is a high chance that the kids frantically want and hope as well as your ex to reconcile.

“I lived through those books, songs, television shows, and movies – the way the characters talked, looked, acted. I thought that could translate over into reality, that I could make their world my world. I wanted so badly to run away from my life. But you can’t bury yourself in other people’s pages and scenes. You aren’t David Copperfield or Tom Sawyer. Those love songs on the radio might speak to you, but they’re not about you or the person you pine for. Life is not a John Hughes film.”

“There was one moment of intersection, when the topic of hate-watching came up. “Why do you watch TV shows–and keep watching them–if you don’t like them?” Terrence asked.
Simple: Some days, all you have is gazing upon horror, and the small comfort of being surprised that it is not yours.”
