You and Ailsa were both great comforts to me but I, too, worried that you shouldn't have to take on that burden. I tried not to expect it from you, but I also came to realize that one benefit of being a single parent is that you are forced to be fully human with your children. Nobody else can step in when life gets you down, so your children learn that everyone has good and bad times. Surely this is good in the long run, as long as you find ways of mitigating the effects of your mood swings.jerrinenoreply@blogger.com
