Hugs from here too.

I'm so sorry BK1. Is partial homeschooling an option? DD8 is so much happier. Blissfully unaware of the tension it seems to have created between myself and the school. I won't go into details now. It's never a cakewalk with these kids.

So sorry about the job loss. My DH lost his job right when we moved into our house several years ago. I think the stress of it on him was much worse than the financial difficulty.

My little one seems to pick up on sad or stressful feelings no matter how hard we try to pretend everything is okay.

Hang in there!!!!!
