When you become a parent your focus must shift into making wise choices for your child. You are the grown up... if you want to waste time on this bum than do it when your child is with trusted family members or friends, school or whatever. But you don’t allow your son to see you with him, he insults you , treats your terrible. You need to raise your son to be a good Man , A good human being .. That guy your trying to fix ? Is neither and likely never would be.

Decide to be single for a while Therapy could help you learn to spot red flags before things explode or you waste time with a Focus on your self esteem and self worth. You deserve caring love and respect.

When I dated after my divorce ? My daughter was 6 , I was single by choice for over a year and a half . I needed time to heal from divorce.

I did not introduce my daughter to anyone I was dating for at least 4 months if not a bit longer. Many guys got annoyed that I only have a certain amount of available time when she was with her dad or my parents.

This is just my opinion .... children don’t need to meet everyone mommy or daddy dates.

Learn to be selective . I’m not saying someone must be perfect , I’m saying someone needs to be fundamentally a good human being.
