Thanks for the encouragement, dear friends. With each thing I accomplish I feel so much more independent, and I'm more emotionally stable to tackle the next challenge that comes my way.
Dear Becky, I hope you can take your kids and move to where your family is. If your ex drinks heavy this is so bad for the kids to see. You are truely remarkable and are going to do just fine by yourself. Who knows maybe there is someone just waiting for a handy gal like you to come along. Either way you are a good role model for the kids. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
