Mel, you are doing more than just about anyone else I know in anything remotely like your position, and you are keeping at it all with an amazing spirit! Don't beat yourself up about the little more you might have been able to do for Mara here and there. No parent is perfect, and somehow must of us survived it all. Like you said in your last(?) post, if you don't do what you need to do for yourself you certainly won't be able to do as much for her. It is awesome to hear you enthusiastic about life and music again!
I agree with all that broken_cynic says - I think you're amazing. As for Mara's speech - might be an idea to get an opinion from your doctor or perhaps a speech therapist.... I shouldn't worry overly much - J, my youngest, didn't talk at all till he was four; just a late developer. Now you can't shut him up! :o) but yeah, get Mara checked - there's probably a simple solution you can do with her at home.....
And yay for potty! Let her take as long as she needs - and lots of encouragement and praise when she does it..... (but I guess that bits obvious!)
