In this episode, I share several personal stories from my dating life after my first divorce. I was 30-32 years old and my daughter was in pre-K and kindergarten.

• I talk about the mistakes I made when I was like to be young and single. I was insecure and basically introduced myself as damaged goods to men who displayed interest in me.
• I revisit my relationship with “Funcle” in regards to his feelings toward little Lanie. I also reflect on what it was like to try to gauge how she felt about him.
• I tell the story updating “Malibu Ken” and how I totally misjudged his intentions. 
• I had a total panic attack after attempting to spend the holidays with Lanie, a boyfriend, and his children. 
• I explain what it was like in the early stages of dating my ex husband and blending our three girls.

There’s no doubt in my mind the children are the most complicated factor in dating after divorce. For good reason… They are the most important  people in our lives.
