Thanks for joining and welcome. I hope you learn a lot here...... I hope you bring it, too. I think one of the most important things as far as DDP'ing goes is to remember that you're brain is your best tool. I sounds like you've got your head in the game though, so you should be making progress with skills and tips in no time.
I am sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I am shocked at how many single parents there are here(I'm not one, just making an observation). Maybe that is a thing of necessity and self preservation that comes from feeling responsible for them too. Whatever it is, I'm glad you're here.
