girl ...you rock! I only wanted you to know that your choices are always the right choice. This world has a way of making single mothers feel wrong and inadequate. There is nothing you can not do! It sounds like you have ahandle on this. I hope you didnt think i was judging your family. I wasnt. I was just thinking about 12 years old and on your own,just wanted you to know as a mother I wanted to give you a hug for that.

I too felt the same way with my post ..as I typed to reply my fingers just went to town and found myself not finding an end to it. Your post brought out more similarities than diferences that we share even though we are a generation apart.

You go Girl!
