Today is just one day and so long as you keep facing forward all the suffering from your past life is behind you. Ahead is unwritten. Sophie's life holds unlimited possibilities. So does yours. At some point Sophie will be able to help you. In six years she will be able to drive.

It is beyond difficult today to make new in person friends. Let yourself be satisfied with the friends you've made here. You are only 41, so many years ahead of you. Change will occur. Patience!!!

I'm sorry it's so hard. It won't always be so hard. Believe this for Sophie and for YOU.
