yes well i can understand how difficult it can be, i was a solo parent for ten years myself, so until you have walked in those shoes ,it is hard to understand what it is like, it is not an easy road, i also wonder how much Bri's dad is in the picture and whether he can help out financially.

Again i must stress i feel for both parties here, i think it is very hard on both of them,it sounds like Bri's mother has had it tough and things are getting on top of her, she needs love and support i think,and yes i think Bri can help her there,after all is that not what her mother has given her for the last 19years, with much sacrifice too i imagine, which we do unconditionally as mothers, but i am sure Bri can give back too.,and i am sure she had already done that, just hang on in there Bri, i am sure there is some help out there for you,you just have to seek it.

I am glad you and your mother are not fighting anymore, i think you do need to band together in tough times and support each other.

HUGS to both of you.
