Three Square cooks up plan to feed at-risk kids over summer

Nonprofit food bank Three Square is working with the Clark County School District, the Nevada Department of Education and the Culinary Training Academy to try to provide meals to every kid in need while they’re out of school. With the district’s elimination of year-round schedules, about 65,000 additional kids will be out of school this summer, making it more difficult to get food to kids in every corner of the Las Vegas Valley.

Like war, divorce shouldn’t be declared lightly

I’m really struggling. I’m in a very toxic, totally disconnected marriage with someone who has a personality disorder (in my opinion) and we have two kids. I desperately want to get out of the marriage, but doing so will hurt the kids, will probably significantly limit my time with them, will reduce their standard of living, not to mention the cost and struggle of going through what I’m sure will be a contentious process that will only add to the conflict between me and their mother.
