Dating With Kids

I have been guilty of this relationship mistake many times in the past. The mistake is that I lose myself when I am in a relationship. I morph into what I think I need to be to date the person that I am with. By doing this, I have often lost integral parts of personality and self. Usually I figure this out a couple months after I have broken up with the person that I am dating.

As a single parent, we can not do this. Actually, this is not something that anyone who is dating should do. Your children depend on you to be who you are. Changing for someone who may be temporary in your life can be bad for your children. Keep this in mind when you start to change for the person that you are dating.
