You already feel passionately to advocate for the youth at work, continue it.

As for your children, don't expect them to be totally on side with you --ever. After all, you know that you were not always right. So let it be. My only hope that they will realize...you brought them into this world and celebrate it. It is the greatest gift to give.

I hope your single-mom daughter gets her life in gear. She cannot rely on you for income. She's old enough...and she made her choices in life after she left mother's nest.
