I'm actually kind of nervous about going back...I'll be 29 most of the people in school are fresh out of high school.
Don't worry about your age. I'm 51 and returning to school yet again to obtain another degree in my current area of interest. I've bounced in and out of college a number of times since high school and it's been a wonderful experience every time. I enjoy interacting with the younger students and they look up to me as a mentor and role model.
I say follow your dreams.....

I agree about the message being important to online dating. Very much so. I'm sure the fact that Faraday is cute as all get out doesn't hurt.
Being cute is part of the message.

If I am reading your situation correctly, it sounds like your two basic priorities are your daughter (w/o question) and finishing your education.

Your mortgage and work situation are standing in the way of those priorities. Have you considered selling your house? Even if you break even? Could you rent your house and cover the mortgage that way?

As crazy as it sounds, I think I would give serious consideration to your plan. Temporarily move in w/ your ex, perhaps work p/t and continue your education (which is something you will always have and no one can take away from you).

I would put dating on hold for now, as it is not conducive to your current priorities... and who knows? I've heard it said many times that people find the one when they least expected to.

Good luck!

I can't really save very much, I'm not contributing to RRSP's (and I had to pull out all of my savings to pay for legal stuff when my ex and I separated)...
Are you pretty confident that moving in with your daughter's father would not possibly create a new set of legal problems related to custody when you move out again later? Do you foresee him fighting you for custody after he gets used to being with your daughter fulltime? In the US sometimes custody battles ensue even after original divorce and custody agreements and the judge will sometimes rule in favor of the person who owns the family home saying it's in the best interest of the child not to have to move.
