Althea... As a completely single mom of two boys (!) I am totally in sync with your feelings of frustration and as horrid as it all is now, it gets better. I know that sounds trite but it truly does. You get by becuase there is no other alternative. On eof the greatest lessons I learned through this whole experience is to ask for help. I thought it made me weak and that people were going to look at me like I was incapable or whatever. After I ate that first sliceof humble pie I realized that my friends and family were waiting there...like runners at a race...waiting there hoping for me to give them a sign that I needed them.
It was a gift to both them and me.
I know we are all a million miles away but...all you need to do is ask. Keep on keeping on my sistah!!!!
