Hey Monique, you're already tops in my books! You've done a marvelous job raising your children and studying as well. I (and lots of other MSers) know how hard that is!

Congratulations with your achievemants so far, but you have to get on with life.

After the divorce from my first husband I worked full time. I raised a small daughter and went to Night School most nights of the week to get my Bachelor of Health Science Degree.

If I'd have thought the way that you're thinking, I'd probably have lost custody of my daughter when it went to court all those years ago. I wouldn't have had the courage to fight like I did.

I'd never have achieved what I was so very proud of, my Bachelor's Degree. I'd have never advanced through the ranks of my profession which was a registered nurse.

I'd have never regained the confidence that I had lost along the way.

You have to believe you can do it Monique. Once you lose that I believe that you lose the will to fight.
