Goodbye regrets
Will you still be hoping that your “ex” will come back one day? However, if you have divorced, it is good that your relationship was in trouble … Regretting that you left does not help you move forward. According to specialists, remarriages are, for the most part, doomed to failure. To move forward, it is important to think about yourself, to be able to mourn the past relationship and accept this failure, even if, of course, the task could not be more difficult.
Find a soul mate
Being alone for the time of reconstruction is important, but, once this stage has passed, the desire to start a new life is quite legitimate. A single parent would find a soul mate after 5 years on average. But with children, it is not easy to organize romantic evenings… The solution of the moment which makes many followers among single parents: dating sites on the Internet. In this regard, Jocelyne Dahan, family mediator in Toulouse, stresses that parents should not present their children with all their intermediate, not serious, relationships. They may think that your new companion will leave too and it will become impossible for them to bond with someone.
Another thing: it is not for the child to decide, he does not have to love your spouse, just to respect him because it is your choice. The important thing in all of this is above all to remain optimistic and tell yourself that happiness will inevitably knock on your door one day.
