I've read some nice comments on this subject and was surprised to hear so many positives, yet the reality is much different. It is hard to pick up the pieces after you find yourself alone again, even harder if children lose a loving parent, separation, divorce or as in my case bereavement, now as a single parent I understand how hard it is for single mothers, I would love to meet a single mum, who is willing to see how things go, This will be harder for me as I'm 57yrs old, don't think I'm too bad for 57, but finding a mature woman willing to take a chance is hard and most have had the children and now want as they say, me time. I had a good job working within the aerospace industry, miss it so much, but I'm doing what I should be doing, what I love doing and the rewards I get in my new profession is the love and respect of my daughter, her mother should be here, not me, if God has a plan, some times I think its a little ****ed, sorry about that, but its how I feel, so I'll carry on doing the very best I can at being a dad, I make mistakes and I guess I'll make more along the way, A new best friend, partner and lover ?, we will have to wait and see, but if I'm patient and very lucky, I might find love again, Ferry.

You should not worry too much. There are so many single mothers it's insane, but there's just not enough good men to go around. The thing about your age is that you should remember that women usually outlive men. So what's the problem?

My heart goes out to you. I wish you all the love in the world.
I do understand what you say about God, he can be very cruel at times but there is a heaven and he will have an answer for you one day
