I like the quote I think Karen posted. I really applies to you and the other single moms that have had to slug through survival.

"boundless spirit and unbeatable will to heal themselves, reclaim their independence, and come out on the positive side."

I think I would have been really terrified and felt totally hopeless at times and just quit, but I know you didn't. I'm pretty sure you didn't because of the children. They kept me alive a few times. But I think that makes you awesome. I had some really low times but George and I had quite a bit more back up.

I think your kids will look back and get it one day and honor the mom they had that wouldn't quit. You single moms really humble me. Thank you and the others for sharing a bit of your mountainous journeys. As you said, the COG didn't prepare us for real life. I know when it hit us in the face we floundered more than a few times. I still am.
