How do you cheer yourself up? My husband left me, my close friend passed away, my father relapsed on alcohol, and my mother is acting like a 20 something year old having just finalized her own divorce last week. My ex husband also has our son this weekend so I'm sitting here all alone, I don't really have any extra money right now because of lawyer fees (custody battle) and taking over all my own bills and me just starting back to full time as an RN a few weeks ago.
