WOW! good job! that was a hard battle you fought and won! Discussions like that always turn out badly when "medicated". Not only do you not remember what was decided, words that never would be said when sober seem to be totally acceptable when drunk.
I second what KateL said, there is grants out there and all kinds of help if you are determined and look. Go to High School or community college councilers and find out where to start. Between the two of you I am sure you can get college accomplished!
