Hi Angie,
I am so proud of you. You know what you want, and you will figure out a way to do this and to make it happen.
Your AH, you step-dad, well some people are just crazy and want to bring us down.
I don't think that you have dumb-thinking or that you are stupid. I actually have a lot of respect for the decisions that you are considering making.
I wish you the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
