@@kerrycissne6080 oh I understand. I've been single for years because I am being super picky. After being treated like crap for so long I refuse to settle and let my kids go through what my mom put us through growing up

[@kerrycissne6080]

@@crystalnavarro8006 good for you. You've learned a lot faster than me. Kids are resilient and they will bounce back. I have 2 adult sons who went through complete hell because of my choices and I've always been open and honest with them. I also tried to use those experiences as a learning tool. My oldest who is 30 and just got engaged to a wonderful person, and my youngest who is 21 and in the Air Force. They both took opposite baths and my oldest struggled the most, but he came out of it stronger I think. My youngest took notes from both of our mistakes and has chosen a better path for himself. I also tried to explain to ALL my kids (I have 3 step kids) that no relationship is a waste of time as long as you come out of it learning something about yourself. My last marriage was with my youngest father who was a crack addict and I was with him for 7 years. I definitely came out of that stronger and more empowered. So don't be hard on yourself and be careful where you meet people. I was lucky. My current husband I met on a dating site over 14 years ago, before it was well known. I didn't marry him till 2018 lol. Sorry this is so long. Take care and stay safe

[@justinkennedy2848]

@Crystal Navarro you are Gorgeous and deserve a guy who make you and your kids happy i hope everything works out for you because I know how it is when it doesn't I should have 2-3 little ones but it wasn't meant to be and it hurts but like I tell my friends if you need anything I'll be here for you

But my situation is a little different cause all of our children are grown but I am still Momma Bear I will go to war for my babies. Your story touch me deeply & honestly this world needs more men like you. P.S. I did not meet my 2nd hubby in a bar he just happen to been a long time family friend.
