Well, the ONLY one on that list, I qualify for is "mother as roommate". And, that was out of choice. My mother used to live in an apartment, and my sister and me had our apartment. We ALL hated apartment life. SO, in '96, we all decided to purchase a house together, and move BACK in together. Me and my mother OWN the house. SO, it is NOT like I am "living off of my mother". It just works out that way, best, for the 3 of us, at the moment.
My hope is, that, soon, my mother can retire, and then I can support HER.
And, BTW-- I am a a happy owner(most of the tme, anyway, sometimes he can be a pain, when he throws his tantrums) of a big cat, named Tiki.
You sound like a level headed sweetie....Cat sounds cute too. :)
