My mom and dad divorced when I was 12, in the 80s. He's been dead since 2019. Talking to my mom today. In a random conversation today, I say "I think dad was a closeted homosexual" she pauses and makes me tell her why. I list a few reasons. Edit to say he was loud about homophobia.

She pauses, like I can tell she's not sure if she should tell me. "He did have a relationship before me, with a boy as a teen" I say something like "teens experiment" She pauses again. Well- remember when he went to grandpas funeral, (I was 10) he slept with a man on that day, too. They divorced 2 years later.

I'm 46- she told me hours ago because i brought it up. In my heart, I know she's not lying.

Should I tell my younger half sibling- (different moms) She's a lesbian and has a lot of mental issues- depression anxiety etc.

Edit to say - He condemned her for her "choices".
Do I tell her or stay quiet?

Was my mom wrong for saying anything?

For the record- my mom and son are both homosexual and I don't have enough time to brag on them, (nurse practitioner mom, Ivy League educated son) I love all good people.
I hesitated to post this. But I'm curious about others opinion

I have not had any of the employment hours to sit for CPA exam, and started my search for internships today.

1. How can I best position myself internship for a big firm. It doesn't have to be big four. I'm willing to travel for it.

2. Which specialization best helps prepare for the CPA exam. I'll be hired as tax or audit likely, should I try to work in multiple areas, before the exams, advice would be helpful.

3. Do you know of any companies that help prepare for CPA, or pay for it possibly?

4. I want a big firm so that I have job stability. Can you tell me any negatives to working for a big firm, that I'm not considering

Is it worth it?

My godson is going through an experimental gene therapy, and his mom (my best friend) has been out of work for months because she has to stay on call for him. He’s expected to spend 2–3 months out of state for treatment.

His medical care, transportation, and treatment are covered, but she has no income right now. She said something that hurt my heart "I'm just trying to exist without costing anyone any money" I’m trying to help her find any resources that support caregivers in situations like this, especially in Louisiana, where she's from and Arkansas where she's about to spend months of her life, with no income.

What programs, nonprofits, or assistance options should we look into?

I looked up craft bakery for treats when we arrive (or do you recommend somewhere else) I've been to mcguires. Other than that- I am looking for food/entertainment.
Coming July 10-12

Do I just go to Lowe's/Home Depot or is there somewhere better to buy fence boards?
