Reyn - please, please accept any help that your family will give you. If your brother in law told you to get help, please get it... or at least call a shelter and talk to someone there... please (((hugs)))
And please do NOT cancel or change your appointment - put yourself first... if not for you, then for me.
I hate guns - get rid of it - there just isn't any reason good enough for me to understand about guns
Please be careful
Addy
