I completely understand that God will send the right person to me, but I'm still afraid I will never find someone like this who's willing to be with someone who already has kids. Any thoughts?
Those two statements are in complete contradiction to each other. One says i trust God to send me the right person. The next one says i'm afraid i won't. So if you're sure God would send you the right person then how can you be afraid you won't find the right person?
Also, its rough asking blanket statements about people. Like if men will not want a woman with kids. Some will not mind, some will mind. But seriously, if you think about it, people with kids remarry all the time.
Personally, i would rather not. But not because i dislike kids or anything, i have certain circumstances in my life that have effected how i feel about having kids at all. Before these circumstances i would not have minded, and in fact dated a woman with 3 children.
I would consider worrying less about if you can find a man that doesn't mind, or likes that you have kids and make sure to be cautious about any men you might consider. So many single parents, especially women, tend to rush to find a spouse and stand in father, that they don't take enough time to get to know a man. They so feel their children need a man in the home, and maybe happy that they found a guy who accepts her with her kids, that they just assume this is 'the guy'. Next thing you know this guy is yelling at or insulting your kid, or molesting or any number of abuses.
So when you are ready to start dating again, don't rush it, don't be desperate, but take your time, use wisdom, and let a guy prove himself to you and your child.
