Starting a new relationship…when is the right time?

Starting a new relationship may cause you some concerns.

Remember you need to feel strong and empowered before you can commit yourself to a new relationship. If you are not strong you may be seen as vulnerable and attract a similar partner to that you have just escaped from. If you fear the relationship is potentially abusive refer to warning signs and additional information.

Your priority is to yourself and to your children. It is only when you begin to feel as though you have made good progress in rebuilding your lives that you should consider taking on a new relationship and partner.

When you are ready for this, take it very slowly and only move at the pace you are ready for. Don’t allow yourself to be rushed or forced into commitment you are not ready for. You need to learn to trust people again and it is only when you have achieved this that you can consider a normal relationship again.

Always remember take things slowly…………
