Thanks Bombardier, You're right and I have already sensed this.

One day they will look back and remember mommy had a boyfriend, daddy didn't have a girlfriend. They have both referred to my apartment as "home." Made me sad and proud at the same time. There's been blessings within this curse as my children and I have bonded like never before.

Thanks for the encouragement.

You hang tough. The stage you're in now (shortly post bomb) is the worst. It will get easier for you. Keep that in mind. Think of all the other rough times you went through in your life that seemed unbearable at the time but are now faded memories.

"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
