My car will be back tomorrow if he gets the part. It was the battery and he will also fix the shimmy that happens when I get to 50 or higher. It would have become a dangerous problem, he said I could drive it like it is for 3 or 4 more months. So it's good that this happened and mom sent enough to cover both problems. It's hard to do car maintenance when you haven't the money. I do as much as I can, I'd love it if I could get along without a car. No gas, insurance, oil, tires and all the rest, I could use the money for so many things, like saving to move someplace where there is mass transit that works and closer to family!
It does sadden me that I can't move in with Mom the way she wants, we would be fighting with in a month. Thats the only affordable possibility right now. We have never been as close as we are now and I don't want to jeopardize that. People don't understand what it used to be like and think I'm projecting. We didn't start communicating until after my father died, and I don't want to lose that by living to close. Yes we have both changed but when children move home no matter what the age it seems the relationships go back to what was.
