Should a single mom date even if it upsets her 7 yr old? Divorced for 12 years, and would like to go out occasionally!

As you would understand that the kid must be feeling insecure with the coming of a man in your life. At 7 years, kids have developed the understanding for relationships, and it is difficult for them to accept someone knew especially in the place of father. I think, you should sit with your child and ask him what bothers him. Make him understand what emotional turmoil you have gone through all these years and you have found a friend in whose company you feel better. Tell him the way you have fun with kids your age, you also feel relaxed with your age group. Assure and assert the fact that no one can take his place. Don't hurry into things. Have regular talks with him and give him time to accept, and realise that this is a normal thing. http://expertbeacon.com/how-introduce-your-children-new-partner-after-divorce/#.V3-C5s5UST8

That's a tricky one dear and I must say you've been a really strong woman to be a single mom for all these years. While you've surely given your role as mother the utmost priority, as a woman, I for one definitely feel that yes, you should go out and meet someone you like to be with. I understand the child's anger and hurt, and as it is also a very sensitive issue, I feel you should sit with her and ask her why she is upset. Is it because of insecurity? Please assure your child in words and actions that no matter what happens, the child will always remain the first priority. Tell her that just as she has friends, mommy also needs a special friend. I think patience and a little open communication will do the trick..All the best :)
