You're doing the best you can, and obviously you love your daughter dearly. Give yourself a break. And so you know your not alone, I got laid off today, declaring bankruptcy Mon., and have 600 dollars to pay 2500 dollars of bills and living expenses of which most are a month behind already! The only thing that keeps me from freaking out (today) is my faith in God and the fact that everything in life is temporary, good or bad. Change is the only sure thing. I wish the best for you, keep talking and seeking support. I remember when I was about your daughters' age hearing my mother crying in her room because she was out of money for the month, it scared me, but it also brought out the best in me. I walked into the room and asked her what was wrong. Through her sobs, she told me I shouldn't have to worry about it. I said, It's allright mom, God will take care of us." I don't know if I really believed it at the time, but she did, and He most certainly took care of both of us. Through the years when I've struggled with one thing or another, she has reminded me of that. She has never forgotten that one special moment, and neither have I. Have a peaceful day.
