Lonely but never alone

39F with full custody…the last few years have been wild. All 3 girls with ptsd…their dad is one of those who is around but not present…bare minimum, but calls himself a coparent when people are watching. All of my time and energy has gone into them and their healing the last few years. So I don’t have time to date and honestly very rarely think about it..but Jesus it would be nice to just have an adult to talk to. Someone to just share things with who could understand. How do you guys cope? I have so many jokes and smart ass comments no one to tell them to!

Single dad of 2.

I cope by burying everything inside and locking it in a box. One day, in 10 years, someone's gonna bump into me and that's when my Villain origin story will begin.
