Aww kelly, such a difficult situation all round, one can only feel empathy for you, you have it real tough sweetie, but Grandma means well, remember that, i am sorry she is making you feel worse, but she is only concerned for your well being, i know you already know that.

Wow you have really been caught up in a catch 22 situation here, and i completely understand now why your parents have had such a hold over you, although i cannot understand them at all,if it were me i would not even want the money back simple as that, and would support you in every way possible,it is almost like they enjoy having control over your life,personally i think it is great to raise your kids and then see them become independent, it means you have done a reasonable job.

I have done a lot of reading on crohns disease, and it is the pitts, to even beable to work as you do is simply amazing.

I wish you all the best dearest Kelly, and i can feel your excitement oozing out on these pages,take care and count down the days to your freedom again, HUGS.
