Bea, that's the thing. I'm not sure what happened, but in the past month...me, D20 and D11...we became a team. D20 was just hired for a second job yesterday. We are a TEAM. :-)
I know I have made some terrible financial mistakes and relied on my family a lot. They are angry about that. My dad is angry. In some ways, I get it. AND, I haven't been there for THEM. I've tried, but they don't see it because it's not in the way that matters to THEM. I've needed them and given little in return for years. But, it's because I wasn't there for ME. I was just getting by... dealing with the next "fresh hell" that came my way. I sat and listened as things changed for them and they enjoyed their lives...I know that's not their fault...
But, I know they choose to see it THEIR way...in their minds, D11 SHOULD've been in school, I should have had a job...etc...But, I guarantee that D11 wouldn't be the confident girl she is today if I had been working all this time in a "traditional" job.
