Ahah, just listen to yourself. I've never had a mum, at least not a blood related one, or even a supporting one, so trust me, you're doing a great job.Play groups and similar things aren't needed for a childs happyness.What she needs from you is to be there for her as she grows up, and support her no matter what problem crosses your path.
Playgrounds and similar don't have to be places where you have to take her.For example, take her out to town for a few hours.I remember my grandmother taking me all around town when I was little.Wether it was a park I went with her, a church, or simply a short walk, she had the tendancy of talking to me about important things that once happened there.
For example, if there was a statue of an important person, she would explain to me what they did, how much happyness and good things came from it, but also the bad ones.It's a good way to keep your child entertained but also to educate it a little as it grows, because with time it will sink into her memory.Plus a little treat
(chocolate, lolipops or similar) every now and then, always helps to lighten the mood.
As for your financial problems and similar, I can't say I know much about it.But you have to have hope.Things could always be worse, keep that in mind, and be thankful that they aren't.And if there's a way to mess something up, there's surely a way to improve it as well.Have patience and try avoiding stressful situations.
Music is often good for relaxing, so is reading a book, or generaly doing anything to take your mind off the problem.Something you enjoy of course.
I hope everything will turn out better for you, and your family.Best of wishes and remember to stay positive.I'm aware it may be more then hard for you to do, but try appreciating the little things around you.Even a sunny day is a great event, if nothing else, it will mean you have a chance to take your daughter outside, and let her have some fresh air.
