Where does your self confidence come from? Just curious as your mother doesn't sound all THAT supportive. Don't know the story about your dad. I'm just asking because I am TERRIFIED of working. I'm not lazy, quite the contrary. I have excellent work ethics, but I have always been scared of not living up to expectations, not really earning the money paid me. Anyways, I keep thinking of you being left alone with 3 young children going back to school and now you're almost Dr. Mona.
