You know what I see? That you are the strong person in this situation. You are the person striving to better herself. Your mother, on the other hand, sounds like she could use some counselling for herself. You, my dear, and heading in the right direction. Good for you!!!! I'm so proud that you applied for and were accepted for the job!!! Now, go eat some food that YOU like. You've earned it, honey!

Hugs,
Sandy
