Here is the big question who's idea was it to go on this trip ?
I don't understand if you and Denise don't really have money to spend then why are you going ?
Can't you all do something less expencive and spend time together ?
Your not even going to the doctors but your going on vacation ?

"denying myself heat in my apartment and even skipping certain doctor’s appointments b/c of high copays. "

Do they know this ?

This Denise wants a free ride but call all the shots
