Long time single

I was divorced 2008 after separating 2005 from a husband who decided he didnt want to support me through medical school after all, so took the kids back to the US, and enrolled in a post grad degree. Then he decided he liked boys better, so... divorced and no dating at all. To be fair, I chose to quit med school to raise my kids rather than leave them with their dad, but fast forward to now, and I am 3 months post op from a VGS and headed to the UK for a few months. My life is in flux. Kids have all flown the nest, a job injury left me on the pittance called social security disability and not really sure HOW I could date again at 56.
