Thankfully, my mom has thought of asking her brother in Louisiana in case my situation falls through, but yeah, ultimately, all I can do on my end is wait for grad school to tell me if I'm accepted. Asking and talking to me about it every night isn't going to change things.

At least she acknowledged that much

I've also told her that I'm really not in a position to be doing the providing

Granted this is the conversation I am having with her without my sister butting in, but I'm hoping this sticks

i hope so too
