ok it was never supose to be this way lol i was married, and wanted to keep the family together, FOREVER. unfortunately things don't always work out like you planned :( my life spiraled out of control after i separated from my husband a few years back. taking care of a baby and a 3 year old ALONE with absolutely NO help at all was killing me.. i was ending up in crisis centers and even the hospitals.. it was only until i learned to ACCEPT things, that i started being able to do it.. i had to go through hell though, to get to where i am now. a lot of guilt, anger, frustrations, stress etc... so now i can be a single stay at home mom and not 'go crazy' lol acceptance is the KEY!!!!!!! and not having to FEEL like you need to rely on others, it's a great freeing feeling.. anyone else have a rough go of familyhood? marriage? anything is possible though. just gotta set your mind right and realize you can do it alone!

I'm sorry to hear of you misfortune with how you wanted things to be though it's refreshing to hear that you've accepted it and moved on. yes, I agree wholeheartedly with your excellent advice that acceptance it the key. Take care. ...and don't give up on the terms "true love" and "happily ever after" - they tend to creep up on you when you least expect them (and especially when you're distracted with other things like "acceptance" - smile.)
