Hi, musiclady14!
Glad you found us. I'm so thankful for the SR community here. They've really been a stronghold in my own journey and continuous recovery. I'm sure we can be there for you in the same way.
All of us have experienced big (and usually intimidating/scary) turning points in our own stories. This sounds like one for you and your children. You are being so strong for your children, and that right there is inspirational for me. I truly pray the best for your future with them. Keep coming back!
