Dating
If you found out you the man you had recently started seeing had a severely disabled child(he had custody majority of the time), that could not talk or walk or do anything for herself...would you be hesitant to continue the relationship?
Re: Dating
Why shouldn't he be? One of the first things he's going to talk about is his kids and what ages they are, if they're boys or girls, etc.
Why not keep seeing him?
It need not develop into a long term relationship --- enjoy his company in the meanwhile. Chances are you won't be meeting the kids for quite awhile --- when there are kids involved in any relationship, it's mandatory to go SLOWLY and give it time.
Too many women on these boards move too quickly when they have kids and/or the guy does. Remember: all kids have attachment issues and you wish to see if the person you are dating has "staying power" and will be around for a good length of time.
I would bail. I know that's not what I want for my life, and I'd resent being a joint caretaker to a kid that wasn't even mine. It wouldn't be fair to anyone to continue.
If I were you, I'd consider carefully what you want and can accept as a lifestyle, and choose my suitors accordingly.
I would take time to think about it. Are you ready to be in a relationship with a girl that is disabled?
If he's a great guy I say continue. Then when you meet his daughter and you don't think you can do it, be honest and tell him. Don't tell him in front of her, but maybe pull him aside or talk to him (face-to-face) the next day. Maybe he'll try and help you with getting to know her and be able to help her.
I say just take time. Don't overwhelm yourself.
Any relationship needs to proceed patiently, and with care.:)
This. It's better to make a choice now than later in this situation, and if you honestly believe that you can't do it, then you shouldn't.
I have a nephew that is blind and mentally handicapped and is the sunshine in my life. Don't discount someone because he has a handicapped child.
Dealing with a handicapped child takes time, patience and infinite love. It can be awkward and yes she will need more attention than a "normal" child. You need to think about how you will respond to this girl. If you are not comfortable with this situation then it may not be the right one for you.
With that being said I have high respect for this Dad the that has custody of this girl almost full time. If you are concerned about the daughter talk to him about it. I am sure he has had to have this conversation before.
Good luck.
