Lori,
Glad to see you post and from one single mother to another.... sometimes it is so easy to get so caught up in the stresses of the day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute that we lose sight of the long term which boils down for me at least to family and friends. I have been reminded numerous times over the years that my boys pretty much always know when something unnerving is going on in my life and luckily for me, even when they were young (the age of your daughter) they knew they could ask questions and get a valid explanation. It also served to ground me in the fact that I was first here for myself and in turn for them and if things were getting to me they were obviously going to effect them.
(pun intended) you'll come out like a cat ..on your feet... and the tigress I have seen in action in definitely there laying in wait to pounce on the opportunities. You'll be stronger, more knowledgeable, and utterly surprised at the fact that you can handle all of it. In the scope of things.. it's one year... it was a very sucky year... but one that you will take things from for the rest of your life.
