BEST MOMENTS

1. "I don't need anybody to come in and be a parent to the boys… It's mine. It's my time to not be a mom." 

2. "The dating element is escapism… It's something completely different that makes it easier to spot when a person isn't right for me." 

3. "I view it exactly the same way… I want him to feel at ease that when the kids are with me and my significant other, they are not going to be with somebody that could potentially harm them."

4. "I actually prefer to meet people organically… I'd much rather bump trolleys in a supermarket and be like, 'Excuse me.'"
