If not, I don't think that how he feels about the situation should have any bearing on what is right for you, and it probably still shouldn't even if he is living there, because Heather's parents are the ones helping support you, not him. And if they're willing to coninue supporting you, especially if it's not much longer than a month or so when you would start this training program, then I say you should continue to let them be generous. There is plenty of time to return the favor to the family when you are really able to do so. I'm sorry this is causing stress between you and Heather, that sucks. Just try the best you can to get through this, if you can't find the strength to do it for yourself, then do it for little Kylee's sake. Kids can easily sense tension between their parents, no matter how young they are, and hard times between you and Heather will make it harder on your daughter, as well. Not saying it's not okay or normal to go thorough troubles because it is and every couple should at some point o strengthen their relationship, but still try to keep it to a minimum if you possibly can for all of your sakes. I know you will, you're a good guy.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for sure. It sounds to me though that you already know what you should do, you just need to find the strength to do it. Believe me, I don't get along well with my immediate family really at all, even though I'm forced to spend a lot of time with them because of my handicap. I just keep trying to remind myself though that Klink is my family now, and we're supposed to care for each other's well being first and foremost, and how he feels about me is much more important than others. So try to keep that in mind, I know it's hard.

Thanks for coming to us for advice, that's what we're here for!
I can't say anything different than what Tay said because she said it all.

At least, that's what I believe in my opinion.

I wish you guys nothing but the best.

And will keep you guys in my thoughts.
