Hello Pattie, Sage, Deb,

I put an offer in on the house on Sunshine.

It seemed sort of appropriate as several of my threads contained that in the name and Kitti gave me that nickname.

Even the realtor said that is a nice address for a new start in life.

My mom called a bit ago and I told her had put an offer in on a house and she asked where, I knew she wouldn't like it.

She didn't. She said so you stayed looking in town then? I said yes I didn't want to have to get way out and drive a long ways to work in the winter. Especially as Jan. through April I will probably be working two jobs!

My mom has never worked full time. She was a stay at home mom and yes, I like where I am at now. Sort of country but close to town. But houses in this area I can't afford.

To get what I could afford I would have had to go quit a ways out.

I just HATE feeling always wrong, not good enough, judged. This really drives home for me that I have always felt that from her. Not a pleasant thing to realize that I possibly conveyed the SAME feelings to David during our marriage. I am not consciously aware that I did that, but from some of what he has said I am guessing even if not as directly as she does I must have conveyed those impressions.

So I have an offer on a house and hope my mom doesn't make my dad back out of the offer of the loan for the down payment because she doesn't like where I chose to live.
