Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you are feeling so blue. I can't imagine the pressure you must feel to keep everything together for your DS. But listen to your own words: you are a SURVIVOR! Every day you are healing, growing, and getting stronger! I've "heard" it in your voice in your posts here. You truly believe in yourself, you are dedicated to your son and a long happy future together. I'll bet you wouldn't find comfort at all in the foods you mentioned--not any more! Have you thought about looking for a support group for yourself? Maybe for survivors of abuse, maybe for single moms, maybe for cool chicks who are going through huge changes? Please hang in there. You've come so far and you really can make it through this tough time. Hugs and prayers, Annie
{{{{{hugs}}}} I am so sorry you're going through this.. it sucks when you expect someone to support you and for no reason they bail out. And it really hurts when it's family. Hang in there.. as you already said you're a survivor and you'll work something out.. I hope things brighten up soon
The eggplant pizza idea is wonderful. I love it when substitutions are available. It sounds tasty too, I may need to try that. I'm sorry that your family is being unsupportive. I'm sure you can find away to make it work you are a survivor after all.
Oh sweetie. Hang in there. You got yourself & your son out of the situation of the daily abuse and that had to be hard & terrifing. But took alot of courage. you can do anything. I totally understand about your dad & wife being "Christians" but not wanting to be with family . Thats my brother & his wife they treat my mom & dad like crap. you can do this. way to go with not caving into the comfort foods. the eggplant pizza sounds good. Hang in thre. We are here for you.
Thanks Annie and Mary.
Way to go on not giving in to the cravings!

Great job with sticking to your plan despite everything going on..
I noticed that many in my parents generation doesn't really think that much of therapy.
