Hello wonderful members, I'm Gini and brand new to this board so let me tell you a bit about me ..
I've been sitting at my computer, staring at my keyboard for at least 10 minutes and I have no idea where to start .. it's hard to put the last twenty years in a nutshell ..
I left my husband last summer. We had been in counselling for about six months, specifically to help me deal with the affairs he'd been having during the previous three or five or eight years, I don't really know how long it went on, I doubt I ever will.
What I do know that I found out about his infidelity late summer of 2006, right after my youngest's first birthday. I have four children, all from within the marriage, they are 19, 16, 5 and almost 3. I tried so hard to figure it all out, I went through all of the emotions that followed and then a year later I realized I just could not do it anymore. So I announced that I wanted to separate. That was last August, 2007.
The kids and I found our own place, and he found his.
So here I am, seven months later, and I want to go on a date. I've been asked out, but my struggle is what to tell my older kids (the ones that are 19 and 16) .. do I tell them I'm going out with a girlfriend? Or do I sit them down and tell them I want to go on the occasional date?

I suggest that you be honest (you never know when a small tale will come back to bite you)... and besides, don't you want yout older kids to see what a positive example of dating looks like?
