My best friend is still trying to move on from a rough break up…and she’s a single mom. I’m running out of advice for her … and feel like a broken wheel. “It will just take time, you’ll be okay, he was a jerk anyway.” But in the here and now she’s hurting. And I’m running out of comforting words. I thought it might be nice to get some fresh perspectives – like yours!

We are all single mothers. And that means we’ve all dealt with a failed relationship or two. How do you cope? Are there any ways to make the pain go away a bit faster? How long do you wait to start dating again?And some more random thoughts on the subject:

Doesn’t it suck when you get used to having someone around – and then poof – they’re gone. Then you have to re-adjust to your 100% solo life again. This is why I, personally, try my hardest to keep relationships at bay.  My goal – to balance having a man in my life without actually changing my life or getting too “comfortable.” Why? Because we can’t really rush into relationships anymore. If we do – we could get hurt and so could our children. Sigh. The old single mom dating conundrum is rearing it’s ugly head for my friend and I both this week.

Please, do dish your thoughts.
