I'm not sure if a break is best: I am living a pretty stressful life right now, and having her to "spot me" when I'm struggling to keep it together for my daughter and to let out some of the emotions from my insane schedule right now seems wise.

Day in the life: work 11 hours, school, 2 hours, family, 3 hours, manage the household an hour, sleep, maybe 6 hours (usually interrupted), and every day, some type of calamity- last night, for example, my poor daughter got food poisoning and we were up until 3am. We just lost 40% of our staff at work a couple weeks ago so now my workload has doubled, and my husband told my daughter we would get divorced if she didn't behave last weekend, which led to hours of work to start resolving, so... I feel like I need some support to keep my emotions in check and thrive in the midst of this hectic period, somewhere to deal with all the stress, and cutting her off completely for a couple weeks seems really hard.
