Thank you everyone My mother said her and my dad will have to "discuss it". I just don't understand why they wouldn't want me to do this. She's worried I'll have a week where I only work, say, one or two shifts. But I'm going to cash my checks without spending any of the money for awhile to let it build up. It's my own job and my own check, d*mmit, I certainly have a right to spend it how I please. Would they rather I waste it on a new purse or pair of overpriced shoes that I'll wear once? Therapy is not a waste, especially now that we're starting to get somewhere...

Ok, rant over. Thanks again guys, I'm glad you understand.
