I was a freshman in college. It was a horrendous blow for me as my parents had been married for 21 years. The silver lining, however, was that once my parents divorced I qualified for a great deal of financial aid based on my mother's income instead of my father's income. I went to college for 3 of my 4 years for free. Pell Grants paid for just about everything and other grants covered the rest. Look into everything. Research scholarships. There is a TON of money for college that goes unclaimed every year!!! Kaitie, I was 18 when my parents divorced. I was a freshman in college.

Yes, often life isn't what it seems. Keep you eye on the goal of heaven and your feet firmly planted in your faith. Go to your school counselor for help with the money plans but do not give up your schooling plans. They might need to be changed along the way a bit but you need to live your dreams, your parents need to deal with their own problems. It will be tough for your mom to get a handle on things but don't be doing it for her. You need all your energy for your life and future, she will learn as she goes. This too shall pass!!
