How can a single mom find love again?

Can a single mom fall in love again?

Absolutely!

I was a young single working mom for five years. I was devastated from my previous relationship with the father of my two children for having cheated on. I had a tremendous amount of stress and depression that meeting another guy scared me a lot. I lost my appetite of starting a new relationship with a guy because I was so afraid that the man whom I was going to have relationship with wouldn't accept me of who I completely am, with children. Aside from that, I was afraid that my children were not ready having another member of the family or wouldn't get along with their new dad. There were things that I did first before I opened my heart to another guy. These are the following:

1. Healing. I healed myself first from being broken by taking care of my mind and body through exercise with good amounts of diet. I also meditate to maintain and retrieve my inner peace of mind since I had nightmares most of the time.

2. Independence. I educated myself by finishing my studies. I got a degree. In order for me to be independent from him financially and emotionally, I had to establish a career in life so I upgraded my skills. The journey was painstaking but worth it because at the end, I ended up doing the job that I like and I became self-sufficient. Besides, I became focus on life skills rather than lamenting over the hurts and insults inflected by my previous relationship.

3. Support System. I surrounded myself with good circle of friends who have all ears on me and whom I can vent all my frustrations and disappointment in life. Of course, they serve as my source of good laughs too aside from they are my crying shoulders.

4. Career. I focused on my career which gave me tons of opportunities for professional growth and development. At first I was in doubt of my skills because my confidence was ruined being the prey of manipulative partner. But the more I indulged myself to activities that offer growth mindset, the more the monster inside me shrunk and the warrior of me shone.

5. Readiness. Finally, my children asked me to look for a daddy. I was thinking at that time, they were ready to accept another member of the family and to see me being with another man. I found strength from my children each day. They kept me going. So I opened my heart once again.

6. Dating Sites. I made an account in online dating websites in Cherryblossom and Filipinocupid with the hope that I could find the love of my life. Tons of men out there offer different kinds of intentions but the best one fit your needs such as emotional and mental connections.

Like plenty of young single women out there who were devastated from previous relationship, I believe, you can still find the love of your life, but you have to learn to love yourself again and be patient because the right man will come at the right time and in the right place. One can't give one doesn't have.
