be supportive and talk with them. Allow yourself time to express your emotions also. Keeping them in all the time will only make things harder. Its good to stay strong but think of you also. I am very sorry you and your family are going through this right now. It sounds like you have a great mother who is also trying her best. As a family you can get through this slump!! Have faith. You cant do much except be supportive. If your able to get a job and help than that is a possibility...as long as it doesn't interfere with your schooling and "you" time, April
