Lfm, GOOD JOB! You had the courage to do something good for yourself...i wish I could email a sib or something, but honestly, i've realized that there isn't anyone in my family to turn to. not now at least, i'm stuck in a bad position.
but anyway, keep us posted on their responses, and i know you must be a little freaked out, but hey, i told my teacher about it, and i was shocked that i could do that! but she helped me, and my c. is awesome! life is balanced a little more..life's a little better too.
i'm sure your family will support you, i don't see why not!
but i'm serious, you've done a good thing lfm!
