Thank you both very much. I really do feel so supported when I read these messages, it’s a gift.
Awww, I feel your pain. I am 30 minutes away. There are AMAZING support groups near you--if you check MEETUP for BAY AREA SINGLE PARENTS groups. I lead the largest one. Shhh! What I've shared here is very personal, but there are SINGLE PARENTS with kids who would be in AWE of how hard you are trying to make this work. Sorry the outcome is not what your might hope from all your efforts...
