[quote=Anonymous]No real practical advice here, but I just wanted to chime in from the perspective of a kid whose mom faced something similar. My mom was SAH when she left my father who was abusing her. She got no child support, lived in a tiny apartment with me and my brother, and got friends to watch us while she cocktail waitressed. I know from talking to her now that she was incredibly stressed during that time, but from my perspective (I was 3-5 during this time), I had no idea. I was totally happy, glad to be away from the fights she had with my dad, had no idea we were poor. We got one present each one Christmas, and I never thought that was strange, I just loved that present. Kids are incredibly resilient. You will get through this time, and your kids will learn a lot from you about what matters - loving each other, and staying strong no matter what. Good luck.[/quote]
