@ Iroscato: I have enrolled in a full-time college program for the autumn, and I'm very excited about it;
it's the first time I've done anything for MYSELF (and not for my family) in about 12 years...
my mother, who pestered me for over 10 years to move back home and help her with a business,
now resents sharing her home with me (she was never one to appreciate that every situation has pros and cons)
and blames ME for being here, and says she wants me out
...but then every time I try to work elsewhere, or take a course,
she does everything in her power to discourage my success.
Like I said,
it suits them to have me as the bottom rung.
