To see that there is someone who wants to hear more is really awesome, thank you for that. My kids were born when I was 15 and I started taking care of them full time when I was 17. Their mom signed up for the Navy and dropped them off with me two days before she left for bootcamp ( she had a pretty tough upbringing so I don't blame her). When my father passed 2 years later it was just me and my girls.
