I am older than you are but I understand what you are going through. I raised my 3 children alone after a 15 year marriage. Like you I was the frist to be divorced in my family so there was no one close to go to.
Make lots of memories with your little ones. Our first valentnes I could not afford vanentine stuff but I had everything to make pizza size cookies. They loved it adn I am still making them.
Christmas we went to every possible Christmas function at churches, schools.... to get in the Christmas spirit.
The good news is we made it! My children are grown now and I will be a grandmother in March! Write I you want someone to talk to. ____@____.com
