Wow Heather, you are sure busy!

Don't forget to take some time to depressurize every once and again. Your dad sounds so much like my FIL used to be. He NEVER gives anyone anything without strings attached. Just be glad that he isn't doing to you what my FIL is doing to my W! Imagine how it would feel if he told you that he would love to help you, be a part of your life BUT you need to dump your family because he see's the way you live as a "waste" of your life! And at the same time keep telling you how is so close to death, time is running out, etc.

I love seeing just how well you are doing! Keep going, don't let other, flawed people slow you down or get to you. You got this and your D's will be so proud to have a mom like you that they can look up to! It's too bad all of us on the boards are so far from each other. I'd come out and give you a hand if I could anytime and I'm sure I'm not alone!
