Sophia, my only advise is do what is best for you, not what anyone else would have wanted.
Sheryl, I am so sorry.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I echo Karl here. Wishing for you both the support you need to navigate.
EYA: And also what msbelle said. I suspect, above all, they'd wish for you to maximize your happiness/contentment.

ION, I am fostering a dog. Pics over on Bluesky. He’s a big pittie mix. Bigger than any dog I’ve ever had, but at least for the 20 hours I’ve had him he’s been a sweetheart.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thank you all. Right now I am just trying to stabilize and wait, which I think may be frustrating people. I have to have a think when I am in my right mind. Which I am um, not in right now. Now is the time for my weekly call with my mom, so I am sad. I was keeping so much from her that it is somewhat of a relief but still. (Both the state of my mental health which was dismal-I oddly feel better now and that I was in contact with my father’s other kids, which would have been a big thing). Generational trauma yay?!?

A home inspection is probably a really good start! Good luck with everything. My dad had his shit fairly together and it’s still a nightmare and a pain trying to get all the paperwork and figure out all the steps and so on.

I feel bad, but this is out in the country and I can play the “I’m a lady who does not understand “ and people help me? It is terrible

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Right now I am just trying to stabilize and wait, which I think may be frustrating people.
People can wait.
