Single parenting for a long period of time with no end in sight.


I have been a single parent since my kids were 2 and 8 months old. For the first couple of years from separation the father visited sporadically. His choice and I am 100% certain he will not try and resume a relationship with my kids. So far now it's been atleast a decade since my kids have had or seen a father. My kids are 13 and 11.I have had relationships in the this time but nothing my kids have been apart of. I'm 31 now and pretty sure I don't want to be in a relationship again.They were very sensitive for a time regarding other kids having dad's and fathers day and all of that. They don't really talk about it anymore or bring up anything.Is there anyone here that has had this situation and know how it goes? They are really nice people and have no behaviour problems or anything.I just wonder if they will grow and have such a loss in their life that it will hurt badly? Is their anything I can do to stop such a hurt? As I stated before, I'm not going to be in a relationship again and I don't have any family myself, except a sister. So I can't give them any sort of man figure in their life. What can I do? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2ZHOQmz
