our lives are parallel, I swear.
the financial strap i'm under feels like it'll never loosen up. although i am incredibly grateful I have taken the steps to being independent that i have, sometimes I wish i could do things SO VERY DIFFERENTLY from the beginning so that i wouldn't even know what this struggle was all about.
with that being said, my kid (as I'm sure yours) is all the motivation i need to say it WILL get better. there is no choice here --- she deserves it. its an uphill freaking battle some days just to keep all the moving pieces together. I feel you mama!!
