SilentG - We all handle things differently. My girls are 3 and 8. I'm also dealing with some medical stuff that makes it much more difficult to deal with stress. I have, however, gone through much, MUCH more stressful and busy periods in my life. In 2009 I filed for divorce, dated, worked full time, went to school full time, raised my daughter alone with some help from my mom, tried to short sell my house (which ended in foreclosure), finalized the divorce while my ex was in prison, and potty trained my daughter!
