And thank you, too, nightbird. It means a lot to me at this dark time.
Your advice is very pragmatic, but unfortunately unfeasible for me. My dad has no insurance, so a caretaker is out of the question; he doesn't have a primary physician; and my extended family are not the most emotionally open people. In fact, only my grandfather visited me while I was in the psych ward after attempting suicide a few years ago, and he only visited for ten minutes. I love my family, but they just aren't the people I can turn to for that kind of support...
Hopefully, when (if?) I get into grad school for fall '09, I'll find decent yearly living arrangements. For what I want to do, I'm going to have to leave this state (Ohio), so that'll probably be the most convenient setup, anyway.
Anyway, thank you for your help and support. I'm very grateful to have this much needed outlet and connection at this time of my life.
