Oh, Julie. I have no idea how you are staying so strong through this. Have you asked your H, as 3bm did, why he doesn't just get on with it and file for D?

I am sorry you had to share the news of S. I also have trouble saying the words out loud, and can't get them out without tears either. Even when I am feeling strong, as soon as it comes to that, I lose it. Blech.

I do think it's good that your S's school knows, though. I know I didn't enjoy giving the news to my kids' teachers at all, but it's important for them to know in case anything comes up at school.

I wish I could give you advice about the $$ stuff . . . but all I've got are hugs.
