Basically, I put my foot down, stood up, and took a stand. It was my asinine mother who was standing in my way. All my current problems I can trace back to her (and I mean ALL of them). I basically told her that I will move on whether she wants me to or not; she can either help me, or stay the hell out of my way. And you know what? She backed down. She no longer stands in my way. Now I can get more hours at work, leading to more money rolling in for me, which leads to other good things. One thing leads to others.
