That’s why you don’t introduce your kid to anyone you date.

You don’t introduce them into at least two years into dating, you need to be engaged and THEN introduce them.

That'll do pig 🐷 :
Don't let the negative comments get to you. You're a single dad doing your best and people will take a 2 minute video and jump to conclusions and run with it. I didn't assume for one second based on the "search history" video that you introduced your son to a lot of girlfriends! I assumed maybe 2 or 3 at most which while that's still alot in and out of a child's life, that's life I guess. None of us do this parenting thing perfectly but the emotional intelligence/self awareness of your son and even your own moral compass told me you're not a bad person or dad! just keep doing your best for talon and keep him as number 1 and everything will be okay. Kids can overcome pretty much anything with love and the right supports 🩷💯 I'm not a single parent I've been with my highschool sweetheart for 12 years now but we still get it wrong sometimes and beat ourselves up over it because we wanna be the best parents ever for our son but parenting a neurodivergent/high needs child is the hardest thing we've ever done so cut yourself some slack and don't let the negativity get to you, you've got this!

Psychology says it takes about three months for someone to start losing grip in their mask. It’s little slips, “not a big deal” little slips.

As a single mom, protecting my children is my number one priority. Not only have I been hurt, but so has my children. I was a step mom and my heart was torn into pieces when I couldn’t see the kids anymore.

We only have are children for a short period of time, we will know them longer as adults! Sad but true. That’s why no one will ever be around my kids!.

Date a girl, but don’t bring her around your son, until it’s been a few months and you’re serious about her and she’s serious about you… the only person that will get hurt in this whole process because eventually you’ll heal and move on. Is your son.

My kid is 13 - raise her completely on my own. She’s never met a man I’ve ever dated. She’s convinced I don’t know how to date. I prefer that way.

Sometimes being single is a blessing. It gives you the chance to focus on being the best version of yourself and being the best father for your son. The right woman will come your way in due time! Until then, girlfriends don't deserve to be around your son. May peace be with both of you! 🥰

Time to keep him protected and keep these women away from him. For a very very long time. Protect his emotions. Do not let them meet him unless you are around a year out. That way, you know how they respond to you prioritizing your kiddo. This is not the world where you can’t bring new people around your kids without lots of vetting.

When the time is right it’ll happen , I believe. Dating isn’t easy especially as a single parent. I’ve decided to wait until my kids are 18 plus probably not right but 🤷🏼♀️.. I’ve always been firm no one meets my kids before a year of dating, so they haven’t met anyone ever yet.

This is so sad to hear, I love my step son so damn much, I really love that boy. He was my first real experience of parenting and hes taught me so much, me and hid dad have a 2 year old daughter now too and he is the most incredible big brother, its alway been a pleasure to be his step mum but since we had my daughter and seeing him with her, it's only made me love him 10x more which I didn't think was possible, he's the most incredible kid❤️

My daughter is almost 8 & has never met a man that I've been involved with. The people you're dating don't need to be dating your children.

My dad always imposed the girlfriends on us. I once had a coworker who she and her ex decided not to date while the kids were still at home. On the rare occasion that they did, they never introduced the kids. I had so much respect for them. I wish my dad would have done the same.

I’ve had the same experience as a single mom. Dating as a parent is just hard. People don’t just announce who they are straight out the gate most times.

Ohhhhhh I never was at my dads and he married quickly after my parent split - my stepmom didn’t want me around and he obliged. I’ve stayed single with my child - I’m not playing that game.

I don’t have kids. But when I see single parents, when you had that kid you chose to put yourself second in everything forever. So if it’s a problem just fix it? Props to you having custody. I support your last post going thru his computer. But those are all things you need to help him fix.

Sometimes you don’t find out true intensions for years. Abusers can hide who they really are for a very long time time.
