Dear Caroline:

It is a good thing that for as long as you are not skillful at evaluating men as trustworthy, that you continue to not have men in your children’s lives. If you are a good mother, I commend you for being a good mother and for protecting your children from potential abusive men and from men who do not keep their word.

Later, maybe, if and when you are ready, you can consider having a man in your life, using what you have learned, and so, to gather enough information about a man, learn over time if he keeps his word, if he keeps his promises- before you get too emotionally involved.
