Hi draconwitch,
I just wanted to say a hello and a good on you!! i know i shouldnt be posting here as am not a single mum... But by golly i take my hat off too you guys as I grew up with my mum being a single mum.... which is what caught my eye... my mum does graphic design and her "name" is dragonwitch
She then had another child when I was 14 and we went through massive domestic violence also, so I know where you are coming from but as a child not the partner of the abuser.

You guys are awesome! Good on you for what you are doing and bringing your little treasures up on your own... as a child I know it was a bit tough but it teaches you some really good things early on in life.

Take care
