>the rest is stressful to an unreal degree I'm sure

Eh I wish I could say that. These are a little bit extraordinary, but not so far out of the realm of it simply being another day. My brother got stabbed in the head few years ago and always has a fresh knife wound and bruises from getting jumped and/or arrested. The incident that lead to my sisters removal is a regular occurrance. All of these things are normal, so... I dunno. I'm always stressed I guess but I'm used to it. That's what I need to change in 2013.

Yeah. That's been a real help, to be honest. Outside of the major events I'm a non-entity in their day to day lives for the most part, and it's precisely to shield them from all of this drama. I kinda feel bad that my wife married into this shit though.

Yessir!

>Congrats again & good luck.

Thanks. Peace man.
