You seem like a very grounded & smart woman.
This should be a very exciting time for you. Your chasing your dream. I wish you the very best of luck with it.
My only concern is that you are heading in his direction. I know for me & my situation its best if I stay as far away from her as possible. Although I am a very capable & professional business person - I am no match for her.
Please don't allow the psychotic mess of a meth addict spoil your life anymore than it already has. I am not being mean or judgmental of him but it is what it is. That's the reality of the situation. Neither you or me make it that way.
I have my own reality to live with. She also is what she is & I didn't make it that way.
I hope you pursue your life & work dreams with passion. Don't allow anyone to negatively impact those dreams.
