I am a 31-year-old divorcee with a 4-year-old son. I also am charged with caring for my developmentally disabled 33-year-old brother, who has the mental capacity of 8-year-old. My son's father is moving next week, and taking my child with him. I will not see my son again until Christmas, and then after that not until April. I am devastated that the family courts here in Seattle have allowed this to happen (no, there's nothing wrong with me...my ex just won), and I am now at a loss as to how to handle this. I can't stop crying, I can't take the time off my new job to go to therapy, and I have to be careful falling apart at home because it scared my brother.

It is a great idea to find out if the company you work for has a counselling program. If they do not, than talk to your family doctor, they may know of some kind of support group or counselling program you can get in touch with. Find out if there is any kind of support group in your area that that may have other mothers that are going through or have gone through the same kind of emotional turmoil yuo are going through. Let me know if this is any kind of help for you
