Does your mom have friends that could visit and perhaps get her out of the house for a while? If they could get her interested in something or if she could look forward to an event of some type, perhaps she'd feel better.

Good luck w/the job, Bri. You're young and can handle a job and school. My son went to college full time and worked 3 part time jobs to pay his tuition so that he wouldn't be saddled w/student loan debt. At that time, my husband and I couldn't help him financially and he said that he's happy that we couldn't b/c it made him stronger. You sound like a tough cookie (in a good way) and I think a new job and your mom getting out of the house w/friends and activities would turn this whole situation around. Keep the faythe.

I know it's tough to go to college and have a job at the same time, but you gotta do what you gotta do... this way I can at least support myself and continue to help my mom and take care of the animals.

My mom does have friends, but she won't ever call them and go do anything. She has one friend who she's known since she loved around here before, and I found her online and they reconnected. I seriously think they need to hang out, but it hasn't happened yet.

Congrats, Bri!! I hope you get it, you really deserve it after all this crap.

And sorry, I didn't mean permanent rehoming, I meant more or less finding a foster home for now but hopefully you're mom won't do anything rash to Brennan.

Going through college with a job is tough, but it really isn't to bad. I'm doing it now. It's alot of work, it does get stressful as hell, and annoying, but it really does teach you ALOT. Good luck!
