I have been seperated for over 3 years and divorced for a year. It has been a hard stugle as I was a homemaker for many years and had my daughter late in life. I did a complete makeover of myself including changing the way I look . I had to use a diet product called Stop Cal to drop the pounds I gained over the years and due to eating my way into 20 extra pounds during my seperation.Thje weight loss has helped my self esteem a lot and I finally feel ready to start dating. How do I do this without upsetting my daughter. Her Father left to live with his girlfriend whom he has replaced many times and my daughter finds this very upsetting, she is always angery with him. I need to get on with my life but I want to be very careful not to do this at her expense. Any advise would be very appreciated.

How old is your daughter? This can make a difference on how you go about it. You can explain to her that it is normal for you to want to start dating and that it will not effect your relationship with her. You may not want to introduce your daughter to your dates until you know it could be something more serious. Every situation is different, so I guess you have to play it be ear. Good luck to you.
