Oh, my!
All this support and offered resources from you all...brought up tears, to say the least.
I cannot thank you all enough for your support.

My T is who has encouraged me in the direction to check out the college/job resource center, which, I obviously had followed through with. When I returned to her after researching that avenue and provided her the results, we both agreed that the "professional" aspect (job resources via college) may be putting the cart before the horse, so to speak.
We decided to take another approach by checking out women's support groups & human resources to see what programs they offer. I have a list of places that I need to check out and hopefully, will provide other options, as well.

I'm by no means defeated just by this first attempt. I'm determined to pull myself out of this gloom. And with a little effort it's just a matter of time.

You all have offered some VERY helpful ideas which I intend to check every one out. The broader my options, the better the odds, the sooner I'm outta here...lol.

Thank you all so very much......Huggles!
