Thanks mirage! One step at a time! It would be so much easier if it wasn't for my D14 being stuck in the middle but that's how it is and I must deal with reality. I will say this...when D14 came home with me Saturday she was in a foul mood, hated her school, hated everything! Over the last week she has been with me she has started smiling and is more talkative and yesterday hung out with a new friend after school at Denny's and I picked her up there. Just seems that she is much more happy and open when with me. She is what keeps me going! She and her sister are my muses and I know that whatever happens, I will always be part of their lives because I am there for them now when they really need me.
