I am ready to start dating/meeting new people again and was wondering if anybody knows any dating sites you can meet other parents of disabled children rather than just other parents. When I have met men in the past they seem willing & want to understand what life is like for a mother of a disabled child - but really they don't and ultimately it does not last because my child's special needs overshadow the whole relationship & take priority.

My theory is - and I could be wrong - that another parent of a child with a disability may have a better measure of the reality and thus either know what he is letting himself in for or have a fair idea and therefore be more tolerant.

Make sense???

Anyway does such a website exist???

I can see where you are coming from with your past experience, I have heard that internet dating is expensive and a lot of liars lurk there too so please be careful

On a positive tho i met my husband on the internet ours was a christian site been together 7 yrs now and ours was a long distance relationship he is brilliant with joe!! as fatherjack said tho i don't know either if such sites are our there but be careful i was one of the very lucky ones

good luck

sorry i dont know of any, but my mum met her partner online, after a fair few strange men lol! i have to say some of the stories are amazing, and the odd phone call with her saying really, thats happened just now, dont worry im on my way...haha! always take a mobile and try and go during the day to busy places and tell people where your going, never get into there car, i know you know all that anyway but im a bit weird

I wonder if a small sister site could be made for single and looking parents of disabled children? I know there are lots of free damain names and hosting sites around........
I did see one site called freedating and from what I can see it is completely free, maybe worth a look?
