I have this friend (let's call her Wanda) who has a son but she does not have his custody and only sees him every other week (or less), pays him child support, and has him on her medical/dental insurance. Plus, her ex husband is not behind her ass calling her every second of the day demanding more money (in fact, he only calls her the days her son gets to be with her to set the time to pick him up). She works as a systems administrator and is pretty fit.

Mentioning this, would any of y'all in here would be ok dating a woman like my friend?

I wouldn't. It's drama that I would have absolutely no say so in. So, I would feel I'm holding my wants hostage with someone I'm not all that terribly interested to be with. Relationships are already hard enough, I'm not in the business to get in a complicated one to try and make it easier.

Clearly she is one of the undead just waiting to steal your soul and suck out your eyeballs. Those single mothers are zombies wanting to devour any innocent man in their path.

Stay away!

How is there any drama when she only sees her kid a few times a month and doesn't have lots of communication with the ex husband?!

I fail to see the issue here. I don't think there is one. It sounds like a functioning set of parents who live apart and are raising a child together.

Why didn't she get custody of the kid?

Most mothers do

I was actually wondering this too.

I would be concerned that she only sees him "every other week or less". Why is that? It is highly unusual for a woman not to be close to her child let alone lose or not want custody of him and I'd want to know more before becoming involved.

Because she was still in the military and was always gone. Other than that? She has always been there for her son.
