Congrats! That must have been a very, very difficult thing to do, and I'm very proud of you. Sorry if I was too blunt. It's just that I grew up with two women whose mother would spend hundreds of dollars on chocolates and random things when she was manic. While it didn't necessarily hurt the family -- they had enough money to get by -- it certainly didn't do anything to help them. Well, I suppose she had pounds and pounds of chocolate stored away for future depressive episodes...
