I'm glad you posted....sometimes it takes a while for things to turn around and it appears that things are starting to look up for you and your family.

It sounds like your children are doing well with school. Your d in SC will be okay. It's an adjustment for her to be away from home. I think she is wise in staying there for Thanksgiving and returning home for Christmas. I'm sure she would love to come home for both holidays, but it's expensive to do two trips in less than 4 weeks.

I hope the new job works out for you. You've been searching for a position for quite some time. Maybe this position won't have you on your feet all of the time.

Thank goodness your h came to visit w/his family before your d went off the college. At least he went away w/memories of his family and how each of you has survived and accomplished so much.

You and your family have come a long way....

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
