Hello alll....I am new here. I am a single mom of a 5 yr old and right now I am going to school full time and living with my mother.
I am studying massage therapy and one of my required classes is Stress management. We have an assignment where we have to put together a stress management seminar for a target audience of single parents of teens. My part is too come up with some case scenarios that we can use as examples....

Good and Bad

So anyone who feels like sharing would greatly increase my grade. I promise no names will be used I just need a story of a really bad day...or a really good day for that matter.

Thanks to all those who help!
