So, yesterday was a TREMENDOUS amazing step in the right direction, away from the tyranny known as "my mother".  She's always using her car or money as a way to control my family, and now we don't need either one :)

Because yesterday? 

WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR!!!! 

Score!!  This is perhaps the best idea we've had in a long and now we'll not have to feel it's necessary to put up with her insane bullshit just so we can get places.  Now she can drive her DAMN SELF to all of her doctor's appointments, because when I do it, she's acts like an asshole to me (or my son) OR she thinks SHE'S going to drive and tries to kill us. 

So yes, one step forward, my friends!  One step at a time, that's all it takes. 

I feel freer than I have in YEARS! 

YAY!!
