[QUOTE="Steely, post: 440583, member: 3301"] Thank you Hound......... I live in a town of 5K with 85% of them Navajo, who have first dibs on most of the jobs here, because we are part of their reservation. So I am trying to move into a situation where I can get back into my groove again. It is very sad, because I absolutely LOVE it here. When I got fired it was crushing - because I knew that was it. I eventually would have to move. But then my Dad was sick, and he wanted to pay my rent so I could be with him. Now it is over - and my life has to move on. I wish more than anything I could stay, because here is where my "soul" lies - but maybe someday I can come back. I am choosing the NW because that is literally where 3/4 of my family lives. I have no intentions of living in Portland where most of them live because it rains too much - but it would be nice to have a touchstone of sorts that is nearby. And yes, Matt can do these things himself. Yet, it does take me constantly reminding myself of how to stay healthy to maintain that state. In addition, there are some things he literally has no idea how to do, because he was in programs until he was 19. Programs that never taught him how to pay bills, or buy groceries, or take care of himself. I am slowly trying to teach him that stuff without enabling him - and it is hard. He is smart, he can figure it out - but the last year has been a work in progress, and it still is. One step at a time - one day at a time is all I can say. [/QUOTE]
