Dating after divorce and as a single parent

Dating after divorce has not been a pleasant experience; I used Bumble, joined a single parents group on Facebook and cringing as I type this joined Tinder. 

I came across a lot of, let's say colorful men. Many with wives or girlfriends...seriously what are they doing on there ?! I should clarify these attached guys were on the apps not in the Facebook group, the group screened it's members well and was a great support system. 

I went out on dates with men who had zero respect for my time which was limited due to me being a single mother. Men who only wanted sex...insert eye roll. Came across excons, alcoholics, drug addicts just flat out red flags. 

Dating as a single parent and after divorce flat out sucks ! Just as I was about to give up I did meet someone. A normal respectful, sweet and caring man. So it's not impossible to find someone after divorce like I thought. I am very happy with the relationship I am now in, don’t give up !
