At least you started back on program with the start of a new week. I too have a child (?24) who has a head pointed in the wrong direction. I don't know what happened to her but this one causes me much greif and stress. I cry for about three days every time I have to deal with her, but alas , She is the one who has to live with her mess. I hope your Mom will be doing better soon. Will you have to take care of her while she heals? These are things that will drive us to "comfort"ourselves with food which in the long run is not comfort at all, but none the less is a temporary fix. This too shall pass one way or the other. I would be eatting ALL the time if I had to deal with teaching in todays schools, or I would be in Jail for killing half the class. So hats off to you Teacher You certainly deserve more than you make.
