First good luck with school - I'm sure your portfolio is good enough to get you in.
You sound really good my friend. I am glad to see that you will not file yet. Good move. Keep the focus on you and the kids and everything should be fine. Will you hurt some days - yes - This pain though is normal and must be felt in order for you to grow and learn from this sitch.
What your daughter is going thru is normal dude. Just remember that she needs you NOW. You are the positive influence in her life. Focus on you and your kids.
God Bless, Eric
