Thank you all! You all have given me great advice and helped me gain strength. My D14 (and her little dog too) are back home. She stayed with me all night and we watched a movie together. Doesn't sound like much but when she's with her mom she spends her time alone in her room. Something she started doing when her mom took over the living room couch while she was still here. Now we can be together.

When I met my W to pick her up she hardly looked at me and was in a big hurry. Nearly ran back into her car when I put my D's stuff in. On, well. Didn't want to talk to her anyway and I was really wanting to get home and make dinner for us. (W never cooks meals. She says since D is 14 she can "fend for herself". I disagree!).

New week starts tomorrow and one of my partners has a plan to bring in extra revenue during the election season. Something new to work on, just what I need! Thank you all so much you have kept me going during some dark times!
