115. I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through such hard times.

Have faith in yourself. Somehow, things do get better. You said that you have a bright son, he might get scholarships to help him pay for college. Student loans is another way to go. Don't despair, something always comes through in the end.

Best of luck to all of you.
