It could be that some girls are just scared that they wont be the most important thing in your life.....OR that they know if they get into a relationship with you they know that you will still have something to do with their mother, and maybe it is too much for them to handle, as some girls get more jealous than others....these women that run a mile are not right for you... There will be a woman out there who will love the fact that you are responsible, and have your priorities in tact and obviously are not scared of commitment. They will be the one that will realise that you are a guy who is strong, and who will do the right thing and make changes when needed...You sound like you love your children very much and that to me is a very attractive atribute to have!! SO keep doing what you are doing and embrace it!! It may not happen tomorrow, but the right person is out there! If they really like you, they will make it happen.... Hope this helps a bit!!
