Since that post, I found out that I didn’t qualify for the post 9/11 GI bill, which was the benefit that i was referring to, and is a major reason why I am so much more concerned about finances. However, I do have benefits still within Texas. All other information is true. My parents have dual custody. By definition, I live with both equally, however in reality I live with my mom much more. Again, however, I do love at a residential school so I don’t live at home for 9 months of the year.
