Hi Jess - thanks so much for your support. I have sent my mother some links to read on AS, since she obviously doesn't go by my word, maybe she will believe it if she reads it from others. We'll see how long it takes for her to read everthing. It is a lot of info, and who would think anyone else would want to read it all, if they don't have to. But at this point, I feel like she either has to accept the facts, or I will have to avoid being around her for good.
