Am I doomed to walk the earth alone because my child is in a wheelchair? My child is a wonderful boy with his hardships and yes, it's tough, but should I just give up looking for someone now?

If someone can not accept your child, would you really want
them any way? There are so many loving men out there that can
not have children and who are open minded...never give up because
you think someone won't accept your child.
Why would you ever think that? You are actually being very unfair
to so many men and to your child. Your child could actually have
a new best friend and a new man in his life.
My question to you, I am not trying to be rude, are you using your
son's disability because you are afraid of starting over? THERE ARE A
LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DON'T EVEN NOTICE DISABILITIES ONCE THEY FALL IN
LOVE WITH SOMEONE!!!
STOP BEING AFRAID AND GO OUT AND DATE!!!

Thanks! I am still hurt that my ex-fiance (three months before the wedding) and baby daddy pulled the "I'm going for a pack of smokes" and was never heard from again! I just don't wantt to get both our hopes up with a new male figure coming into the picture, my son get attached, and then him run from the pressure too.

I get the suspicion that your son's disability has nothing to do with why you are single. It appears to me that you are assuming something that hasn't been proven - that your son's disability is the cause of your singleness.

No, it's not the disability that's the cause, The ex couldn't handle general life pressure at all. Anyways, besides the point. What I meant is, when I meet a guy, they raise an eyebrow when I say I have a child, BUT when I say (later on if it looks to be getting more serious not right away) I have a child with disabilities, men run before I have the sentence out of my mouth, I want to be forthcoming with them but the scary D word tends to make men track and field stars. Just the way the last few guys have been. Wondered if its the norm

Uh, if you don't let a man know right away that your son is disabled, then he could interpret your omission as deception on your part. That could motivate a man to distance himself from you.
