If you want to be a writer, go for it !! After years and years of mental and verbal abuse, our mother had surgery and had to go to a rehab center. It is quiet and peaceful at her house now, and Dad is not the abusive person we thought he was. We let her boss us and criticize us, and tell us what to do. She was a master at it. She told us and then our kids who was doing the best. Money was her goal ! So, take it from me, do what makes you happy and enjoy life !! We only go around once !!! Good Luck !!
