Dear Lynne H: I am so sorry that so much is going on for you right now. I can hear the frustration and pain in your words... so glad you decided to post here. I have found the forums here so supportive and encouraging. I hope you find it so, too.

Have you considered speaking with a therapist, counselor to help you sort things out? You have had so much to deal with, past AND present, that I can see how overwhelming this is becoming for you. Maybe there are other community resources they can point you towards, such as debt counseling or just someone to listen.

You impress me - despite so many difficulties, you are holding down a full-time+ job, are responsible and independent. Your strength really comes through.

Please take care; I hope you will continue to post & tell how you are feeling, and what kind of feedback is most helpful for you right now.
