Now girls......
Let's not bicker.

I went out and actually met TheOracle in person last night. She had no choice but to go very quiet.

She's a very nice lady.

I'm not intending to bicker. I was just stating a fact. I was of the opinion that she may not have known that some people don't have an option of dealing with nothing but total silence. If that was not her intention, I apologize for taking her wrong. I have a hard time dealing with the way she goes on and try to avoid anything she posts. Ah well! Maybe we just need to let it go.

Alley Cat- thanks.

I was just chiming in because that was not her intentions at all.

BTW If you wanted to discuss that, my opinion is actually that silence does not equal oppression.
 
I learned that for the first time in 6 years, my DD is now finally back on my tax return due to changes in the tax law. I getting quite a bit back, I intend to pay off a long overdue bill to someone that's helped out. ;) At the same time though my parents are not at all happy with this and have demanded $1,500 USD right off the bat and I have very heavily considered using part of that money to get an income-based apartment in town. I will be looking into other housing options as well. I just feel like it will definitely raise the tension around here if I stay. However the upside to this is now I can apply for grants and scholarships that may enable me to further my education. I will ask around see what's out there. I hope there is something I can afford that is not a run-down shack at best. This is very bittersweet to me.

I can remember reading advice that it is better to live in the worst hovel than in your parent's house as an adult.

This could really help you attain your goals.

Do what's best for you and your kids. Your parents are being unreasonable, imo. Here's a little door called opportunity. Seize it!!! :)

I hope so. I know it won't be easy and that we will likely struggle at best, but I hope that I can take this opportunity to somehow go back to school full-time. I am not sure how this will work out but I will be seeking the advice those that have been down this road before.

That's a positive turn for you, Dixie.

Glad to hear that you now have options. :)

Thank you! I don't know when the money will be in my account but I was told it was being e-filed so I am not sure how quick the turnaround is. I did not rapid refund it as I can wait a bit longer if needed. I don't know if I should celebrate or what, but at the same time I wish my parents were happy for me. But I don't know. I know mom wants me off of the family cell phone plan now because of this. I will be going to the cell phone store tomorrow to see what my options are.
