Autism and single parenting and dating

It was fair of me not to date a former drug addict I met online.I was right to have concerns about my wife when she was ,000 in debt.Perhaps such a large family will add to the support the autistic child will get, making his care easier.Perhaps joining this man’s family will only make things harder on everyone. Above all else, they should talk about their hopes and concerns and see what page each person is on. I am currently in a relationship with a great man who has kids of his own.

Am I being selfish or shallow in my fear of this undertaking? Thanks for asking such an honest and challenging question, Carol. A man is allowed to not want to date a 400lb woman if he doesn’t find her attractive.If it weren’t for his son I would continue the relationship and see where it leads.But I am having a lot of anxiety about the possibility of committing to him and his child long term.How do we help kids through these transitions and avoid instability?
