I am a Single Mother who has been putting her kids though college for 7 yrs now and still have at least 3 more years to go.

My wonderful children, I gave them 12 yrs of my life to go to college and finish, get a degree.

My daughter fell in love got married, Well baby makes 3. Three Now live with me full time.

My Son he is still in college.

So I stay home with the grandchild, run a full time childcare center, to help pay for the mortgage and bills, while my daughter and Son in law work full time jobs, and college full time. also my son. They pay for all the car insurance, food, house bills, ect

Is any one even close to going through any of this at 47yrs old. Or Am I the only one?

Please if you have your adult kids in college! are you helping them out? and there family's?, are they living with you full time?.

And how do you handle your Relationships with your partner.

I have had 3 come and go, it is too much for them.

I am only one person, doing a "life span of Goodness" for everyone.

Dreams do come true if you really work together and we all are.

still looking for my soul mate.

As the grandkids grow, having them close, will be your pay.

Mine are 1/2 a continent away.

My kids aren't in college yet, they are all still in school. I just want to say "hang in there" at least they are attending college and when they graduate and get awesome jobs; they will remember all your support, encouragement and love.
