Hello,
I am a newly separated bi woman I'm 30 with 2 kids. I am a bit lost atm having not dated in 8 years with anyone. My husband was the only man I ever fancied or loved.
I know I want to date women in the future and I have no idea where to start or how it will work with unsupportive family some who have no idea I'm bi and the questions from my kids but I have to be true to myself.
If there is anyone here who has found themselves in a similar situation I would love to hear what could happen next!

Hey there!
I myself have never had to deal with having children, so my situation is not the same as yours. However, there are some things you can do to make some changes!
You know you want to date women in the future, but you don't know where to start! If you have a local LGBT hangout area, try starting there. I would not immediately tell your kids, or your family. I would just be you for a while. Explore, and find out who you really are before alerting or informing your family. I am not saying to lie to them or anything like that. I just want to experience life and make sure you know that you are doing the right thing before bringing it to your families attention. I know that is what I did before I told my family. I wanted to make sure I was 100% sure in the decision I made before I told anyone. My family was not supportive at all, and still isn't. However, being able to be who I really am, and staying true to myself is such a weight off my shoulders!
I hope this helps a little! Let me know if there is ever anything we can do to help!
~Matt

Hi!
I fully agree with Matt, take this slow and don't get wrapped up in the excitement of it all, that can only lead to un-needed heartbreak. As a mother I feel it is very important to keep your kids as distant as possible with your dating until you are 110% ready for them to meet the person you are dating. They are going to be confused and may act out and that is completely normal. Be understanding to their emotions and listen to what they are saying, they are making changes too and keeping their lives as normal and stress free as possible is the most important thing! Keep us posted we are always here to help!
Much Love,
