So the thing with the fellow ended very badly.
We went to a cafe with my son and my parents, and he got really angry at me for talking too loudly in the cafe. Then he stormed out without even saying goodbye, leaving my son crying. Then he wrote this nasty email to me saying he can't take my selfishness any longer. IT was so bad.
My son has been crying about it, and asking me why he won't come visiting anymore.
Anyway. It was a total disaster. I really messed up. I feel so bad that I let my son get attached to him before checking him out thoroughly first. I guess I'm pretty new to being a single parent and juggling that with wanting to maybe meet a partner one day.
It seems really tricky to be a single parent and to date potential suitors. I have no idea about things like how and when children should meet the new partner, how that transition can work, etc. I never want to put my son in a position where he could get hurt like that again.
CAn anyone recommend any good books on these matters? I feel like I've got a lot of learning to do before I can even consider trying this again.
Live and learn, I guess, but I'm still feeling really angry at myself for letting my son get caught up in all that.
Naver again. Can anyone whose been there reccomend any reading, or offer any tips?
