I had to finish school and work just to make it. I made it through though and for the first time in my life I was proud of myself. My grandparents were my saviors. Right now in my life, well for the past year I should say, I have been facing off with my sister in court because she wants my grandmas money. She has totally slandered my name, told all lies in court, she even has my daughter turned against me which hurts the most. I went and took care of my dad for 6 months with no help from my sister. Then I took care of my mom for 4 months and had to move her over here to Yakima with me. I also had to care for my stepdad because he had a major stroke, AND then, I had to go take care of my grandma because my grandad passed away and she lived in Packwood, which is a little bitty town where it's not very easy to find a care giver 24/7, so I took care of her as much as I could and then the rest of the week I had someone else come in. Mind you I was going back and forth from Packwood to Yakima, while my sister, who lives in Packwood did absolutely nothing to help me. And now she has the nerve to say all these lies about me, she even called APS on me, but they closed the case because, of course, they found no abuse going on. So I have been trying to face this fear for a year, and I almost let it get the better of me, UNTIL NOW. I am going to feel the fear and do it anyway!! I know I haven't done anyting wrong so here we go!!!
