lost mine of 20 years to a badge and a gun(like I didn't have any!!!) children were 12 & 14...so, not too bad(it's all bad!!)....son(14) stayed with me, daughter went with her...I spent the following next few years raising my son....no dating, no nothing...raising my son, and setting a good example...well I got used to living alone, and NEVER went back....I'm not sure it's a good thing, however It's my thing....IF you have children, be a role model!! govern yourself accordingly....
