I'm not sure I'm in any better position to give any advice. But I do agree that it might be not a good idea to quickly enter into a relationship in some cases. Being a single parent can be extremely tough, physically, financially and emotionally. One may have to realise that, whether you like it or not, it invariably takes time -- even years in somes cases -- to make a good recovery from a demise of one's spouse or from separation/divorce. In the latter case, one may have to go through a series of psychological process such as denial, anger, guilt, sorrow, or loneliness, and the emotional roller-coaster can easily throw one into a depression. Again, in the same case, the true victim might well be the child as opposed to either parent. One should always remember that no one can truly replace his or her biological father or mother, and there're few parents who do not love their children... In any rate, take a break, relax, allow time to heal the wounds, and learn how to forgive and love ourselves as well as others. |
