Again, I thank you all for all your support. You've given me some things to think about. I had my husband read this thread. He's, as I said, a very good man and a very good father, but much more strict than I am. He's ready to say, "You want to live your life your way? Fine. Give us the car and don't expect any more money." I can't say he's wrong, but what my head is saying is not the same as my heart right now. Thankfully, he also realizes that and this hasn't stressed our marriage much. He found the thoughts on Asperger's especially interesting.
My son will be home tomorrow. Kind of sad. I'm already looking forward to work on Monday.
