Coral, I've been married to this man for 33 yrs. It's ALWAYS been this way. Wouldn't know how to act if it wasn't. LOL I was just letting off some steam on that account. DH and I have had a talk and he realized what he was doing. He considered the work I've put into my project compared to his and it seems he's willing to let it drop. He also realized that both of our intentions were to help out our youngest monitarily and saw that we were working against each other. He wanted our son to be involved with the zoo and the son already has his plate full... while his wife doesn't work outside the home. SHE has plenty of time to devote to earning a little money.

Ok, so what little depression isn't under control makes almost anything out of the ordinary stressful, but I'm thinking things are better under control now.

Make things a little clearer for you and your footing is more sure on what advise you can give me? I hope so.
