Bad Economy

The greatest family challenge would be keeping up our savings since the beginning of the recession. Because it occurred, we had trouble savings money, especially that my sister was about to go to college for the very first time. We had to make a lot of adjustments in order to maintain our house.

The Great family challenge you've overcomed/We bought a Zoo

The greatest challenge I overcame was losing my mother and going thru a divorce and taking care of my 10 year old sister and 5 year old son and attending school, I did learn to cope and handle anything with the help of a phycologist. I was a very rough time.

Greatest Family Challenge

My greatest family challenge is that I live too far away from my parents. Actually. we now live in two different countries! At first, I don’t know the importance to keep in touch with my family, and once for such a long time I even didn’t make a phone call to my parents. Then after the first time I called my parents, I realized how big the gap between my parents and me. It seems that we don’t understand each other. I know I need to make a change, I should be more active than before, so now I keep calling my parents once a week, we talk about everything.

The greatest family

The greatest family challenge was getting divorced with three children from an abusive spouse. Had to move twice and work 2 jobs, but after 11 years, everything is great. I have three great kids that are all going to college.

Family Challenges

My biggest challenges is sadly easy which was dealing with divorce. I experienced it as a young adult when my parents divorced and now as the parent when I got divorced. I have learned so much about myself in both experiences and feel that I have used those to be a better person to myself, my family and my friends.
