[QUOTE="Brodi, post: 671603, member: 19696"] I'm not sure about services. The only relatives that could help live several states away and they don't really know me. One of my uncles (mom's oldest brother) is going to be visiting next week, but she is refusing to tell him about it becuase my workaholic* dad has to fly out the day before my mom drives uncle to an airport an hour away (this uncle CHOSE that airport, his GFGness* is showing:mad:) and she is worried that he won't want her to drive him! So far only me and my dad know the situation. My mom is super paranoid about everything and buries herself daily in her newest obsession (computer coding). The future is my biggest fear. We live in a run down trailer we are renting from a man who calls himself a slum lord and has been arrested for various things and is under suspicion for the disappearance of an ex-wife, we have WAY too many animals (namely cats, my mom's main obsession, and we have four litter boxes in this small space), we are so isolated it is not even funny. I am desperate to move, but we don't have the money and my dad can't quit his job (who would hire a 60 year old man who is definitely somewhere on the spectrum?). He will retire in 6-7 years and then and only then can we move. *Both my dad and my (late) grandpa were total workaholics. My dad joined the army and didn't see me till I was several months old. I rarely saw him growing up, even after he retired from the army and got a "normal" job. At one point he forgot what grade I was in and another time he complained about feeling bored and useless when my mom was recovering from foot surgery! The man literaly cannot stand to NOT WORK! He has gotten other people sick because he refuses to call in sick, has moved as back and forth between two states (TX and OK) and even finds ways to work every time my uncle comes to visit. They get along great, it's just he can't to be idle. *Uncle is the oldest of 5 kids born to a type A personality school teacher who had a stroke in the 1980s and his wife, a homemaker/nurse/world traveler who we have suspicions of having had some form of mental illness (most likely depression), she died in 2010. Grandpa gave all the money to a church and the family barely scraped by, never had enough food, etc. difficult child Uncle is super smart and can talk is way into and out of everything, Vietnam included.
