I don’t even know what to say. Inspiring...you are awesome! So many strong woman stories here, strong people stories. I love the SNS community.

You’re killing me with this today.

Wow that’s awful. So glad you had the fortitude to make it out if there.

Yay! So happy for you!

I love it! And so versatile.

Wow, really well laid out. I certainly get the concept of keeping us poor and without options and followed that out to its logical conclusion, but never really followed the opposite out. Such good points. I’m ready to live there now!

Thank you! I really appreciate the help.

This whole thread has been a little heartbreaking. I hope you are taking the advice here to take care of yourself, not just your daughter. And collect Dad jokes.
