Hoozh! Ah jeez. Thanks for going through that again for us. Listen, I know how hard it can be. I know.
What do I think? I think a written response isn't what you need. I think you need a friend to sit with and have coffee. Someone who can just listen for a while. Someone to share it all with. A phone call even. But it will be a 2 hour call. Do you have someone to pour it all out to?
This site doesn't like it when people share personal info, but people have been known to leave their phone numbers in the alternate universe.
No matter what I write, the baffling, heartbreaking details of your recent situation won't stop. won't disappear.
Somehow you've got to get through this transition - regardless what is on the other side. You've got to focus on your own needs and those of your daughter, and take care of you. Money, no stress, fun, friends... whatever it is - make sure you're getting it.
You're going to be ok. You will have some hard stuff ahead, lots of changes you don't welcome. But you will make it through. You will make it. Your daughter needs you to be strong now.
ps: no - I am not in a helping profession! I am an out-of-work knight - so little work for knights these days. do you know how expensive it is to feed a gallant steed?
