Onwards and upwards eh Kelly? you sure have had your challenges of late, and I am very happy to hear about the new job, but in the same breath so sorry about the apartment, just see it as a stepping stone, in time you will have your independence back, thank goodness for your kind friend, I am sad your mother does not understand the love you have for your pets, but at the same time I guess five kitties is a big ask,especially in her new expensive home.

You will be much happier at your friends, because she has welcomed you and your kitties with open arms, so for now that is the best place on offer and I am sure you will do much better there than if your mother gave in and reluctantly said yes, that would probably cause you untold stress, which you my dear do not need right now.

Good luck with everything sweetie and know we are always here to lend and ear and a shoulder to cry on okey Dokey.
