Keep Going
I can definitely relate to having people in and out of the house. My mama would bring in total strangers which disrupt our home. I think in a lot of causes it doesn't nurture a family situation. A lot of us lact the attention we need which make us search for the mentor which we end up not getting. It's either because we can't find someone who we can relate to or the Universe hand picked us to be leaders who what I see are fascinated by nature/space/universe (Starseeds). Leaders provide resources and have to search for it. It's always good to know that someone else have similar experiences. I will be checking out Small Town Animation Studios and best wishes/success on the space program.
