Dear Catnapper's friend: I can understand that you are hurting. Your ex-husband hurt you very badly and it's a totally normal reaction to want to feel pretty, desirable and wanted again. Take your time and go slowly. Check out this guy in London a little more closely. If he isn't the person he has claimed to be, your daughters will pay the price. They need a stable parent. Now more than ever. Like you, their world has been turned up-side-down. Only, they didn't have any say in the matter. Your children need you. Check this guy out. Have you caught him in any lies? Can you verify specific things he says, or does he even talk in specifics? Has he told you the name of his friends and family? The name of the place he works? etc. Can you verify all of that?

He may be the greatest guy in the world. But he could also be a very destructive person in your children's life. Before it goes any further, check him out. There is a saying, "Knowledge is power". Make your decisions from a powerful position. Not a "I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best" decision.

The difference between Catnapper's on-line experience and yours is that she didn't have children who would have to pay the ultimate price if she was wrong.
