Single mom, college student and full time teacher assistant while overcoming depression, poverty and loneliness

My story is one of struggle, resilience, perseverance and overcoming. Are some of you single parents overcoming depression while trying to get your degree?... If so what are some of the ways you cope with life...

I'm a single mom. I went through a separation and divorce 8 years. I was the primary bread winner at the time, and I had to give up my career to take care of the kids with absolutely no help from my dead beat ex. I reached out for help wherever I could at the time. I found a family counselor, put myself back on medication, reconnected with my parents who I hadn't spoken to in 9 years, reached out to my brother, discovered who my one true friend was, and found this community. My life was in shambles, and I couldn't have made it through without every bit of support out there. So my advice is to reach out for help in anyway you can. And be there for others in return. It takes a village to raise kids, and you don't have to do it alone.
