Raising children as a single parent is indeed a road with many pathways.
I didn't have any children of my own. I raised my sister's three children, because I refused to allow them to become wards of the State. I guess you can say that I put my life on hold. My Mother had trouble getting around up North, so I moved her in with me, and I was blessed with having a right hand in the process of raising the children.
Because of my job and the demands of my time, dating was sort of put on the back burner, outside of the casual date. I never let my dating go beyond that, mainly because I knew I was not able to make a commitment to a serious relationship. I was the Administrative Director of Medical Services and had to be available whenever needed 24/7. I had the responsibility of a mother and three children, so there was not any room left for a serious relationship. That was the easier path for me. I think we all make the choices that are right for us at the time.
I guess we were both very lucky, our choices seem to have worked out well for the both of us.
