Pam – thank you so much for the words of encouragement 🙂 I know it will help my mom if I take care of myself first and I know she does not want me to worry so much about her. I am seeing a therapist right now who is helping me with my depression. I just need to remind myself to take one day at a time and know it’ll be okay

Inky – Yes! School is definitely very important right now. And to reassure you I am an accounting major (that switched from history) that will be going to grad school next year. And we are looking to move one day to a better location. So I know I need to keep in mind that although I can’t help financially now, all of this will pay off in the future. I just need to be patient and know it will work out for the best

Thank you everyone for your comments. You have been a big help! I just needed someplace to vent i think and get positive advice. Your kids are all very lucky to have you in their lives. I hope you all have a good day!
