    Friend of mine had a kid when he was early 30s with his difficult ex.

    Married to 'the one' now and have two kids together 10 years later.

    Not a big deal these days

    It's difficult but not impossible. Unfortunately it does limit your choice as a lot of people are not comfortable dating someone with a child. You just need to be upfront about the situation from the get go. The right person for you won't have an issue with it.

    My best friend had a terrible time with her ex before they broke up. When the break eventually happened, she was left with their kid (who's a credit to her btw) and a sh1t load of drama. She, like you, was convinced she'd never find someone again and spent about 5 years just dating d1ckheads who pretty muh played on her 'single insecurities'.

    Then she met Him. They're together 2 years, give or take a couple of months and couldn't be happier.

    As Daisy said, it may limit your choices but the right person won't have an issue with this.

    Keep your chin up OP.

    I'm coming out of a 10 year funk... relationship that didnt suit either of us...
    I'm probably happier than i've been in years... i'm getting on with my ex and kids... (more so than for a long while)
    I'm trying not to be bitter or blaming anyone,practical and personal .. (why would I want to be bitter)
    And i've very recently met someone amazing.. far too early to say is it "the one" (not sure if I agree with the idea of the one anyway "
    Put your game face on...start to change what YOU want to change, get help from friends and family (baby sitting, talking what ever) . Do things you enjoy.... and put yourself out there... dont put too much pressure on yourself..
