Dating and the Single Mom

Painting I did as a Christmas present to my son. 

Alright, so I know I promised to publish posts about other things (like that book review I've been meaning to get to) but I have to address this one today.

So I am a person that despite being the hopeless/hopeful romantic that I am, I tend to actually approach my dating life in a careful way. I give up dating for a few months here and there and tend to take long breaks from being around people in general while I sit back and reassess what I will and will not accept in the behaviors of a friend or boyfriend towards me.

One thing that I will NEVER accept in this regard, is a person looking at my child as a handicap or a reason to detract from who I am as a person.

Why?
