Dear SugarBee,
It is such a tough situation you’re in. I am a single mother too. I remember the time when I was out of work, divorced with 2 young kids and trying to brush up on my knowledge to find a job. It’s a lot on your plate. I don’t know if I really have any advice. But just know that things will get better if you keep up with positive thoughts. You might have to reduce your course work, pick up some work to help with the situation. But when you’re strong and determined, you will get to your goal. It will just take a little longer. I can see that you’re a very strong and intelligent woman. You will get there. You will finish grad school. It’s sad but sometimes, the only person you can trust is yourself. Try to find your inner strength, try to take shelter in your inner peace while all these things are going on. And don’t forget to eat healthy and have some good rest, go for walks. Your kids need mommy to be in a good state of mind. Think of your kids. It might be helpful to repeat “This too shall pass” throughout your day. It’s the power of thoughts. Take care of yourself. Your calmer energy will have a positive influence on other people. May be read up a bit on how to deal with difficult people and not take on their energy.
My love to you and your kids.
