Heh. After Dad died, my Mom shacked up with a guy we met while Dad was in the hospital. He went to the same high school as me, the same year I did. He's lazy, broke, bipolar and unmedicated by choice - and a rabid far-right conspiracy theorist... So technically, she's supporting an adult child.

I'm doing just fine, thanks. :D
