Here's a hug for you too. :hug:

And while I know Ava's mom has a good heart, and that's why she is so idealistic, the truth is that a lot of people ARE incapable of changing.

My mom is probably sitting at home right now STEWING because she got no phone call and no card, and there is absolutely NOTHING she can do about it. She is a control freak....this drives her batshit. And this gives me a perverse sense of happiness, because for most of my life, she wouldn't let ME have any control of my own life. I was 26 before I was able to move out!

I had only a few years of blessed independence before I was diagnosed with MS, so now I hate her for that even more than I used to. To think of all the living I could have jammed into that time.... {{{{{shakes head}}}}}
