What are the effects of single parent dating habits on their children?
I have a friend who is a single mom to three boys all under the age of 10. In the last 2 years she has dated 4 men who she fell in love with quickly and made them part of her children’s lives. The boys bonded to each one and then suffered when the relationships ended. I was wondering if there are any good studies or books on the long-term effects of this pattern on the children.

Nothing good comes of that. Eventually the kids will refuse to get close to anyone. It really messes with their heads.
I think eventually they will all start acting out their pain. You have to remember, every time one of those guys leaves her the children feel rejection. It’s hard to build confindence when you feel like you are the reason no one will stay.
Sadly, a lot of women are very selfish and put their own needs ahead of the childrens.
