Thanks a lot, Matt. :) I'm trying to figure out how to get closer to my siblings without getting them on my birth mother's bad side. She's got a nasty temper, and my 15-year-old sister still lives with her, so if Laurie flies off the handle, then Jaimie is the one to catch the brunt of it.

Yeah, it sounds like a tricky situation. Dealing with violent, mentally unbalanced people (especially women--- believe me, I know [wink] ) is ALWAYS confusing and tricky--- you just never know what might set them off at any given moment. Best of luck to you and your sibs, bro.
