Big hugs girl. You have a lot to deal with and you are stronger than you know. We are here for you.
That is an exceptionally tough situation for you to be in. I sure hope she gets the help she needs and can pull through. Hang in there... It's your family, but soon you'll be out on your own and not have to deal with it so closely.

New idea : temporary pallet pens for the new sheep... im hoping to swing out and grab some pallets, set them up on rebar posts and have a flat peice of wood over top for a roof, no clue if it will work but i dont wanna integrate the sheep once i get them right away and i want to be able to get the ewe used to having me with hands on and working with her. Just for a little while hence the wording "temporary".... only issue is....waiting for the next damn thaw to happen ... i should have thought of this earlier 
i dont want little nuit to be bred first chance ramsey gets esspecially since she is only 6months. So making it so that both sheep can socialize with the herd. And if everything goes well ramsey and my new ram will be shoved over to the secondary feild right next door again a pallet shelter will come in handy for that just figuring out a door for that is another thing i need to figure out.i mean i do have an idea and will be drawing them up later and posting them for opinions.... now after that is all set up.... i actually need to go get the sheep. Ive tried roping my boyfriend into coming along with me... but his dad (who isnt doing all that well) is convinced that our over all trip (avoiding highways and all that) will be nearly impossible and is trying to convince us otherwise unless we let him drive 
i mean i love his dad and all but getting stuck in a bench seat cab with him and my boyfriend for 4hours and 48 minutes there and 4'48 back.... i think i would go mentally insane esspecially since neither would want the other driving for the whole trip and would start arguing and since they both can be as stubborn as mules ... argh i feel a major headache coming on just thinking about it 
and my bf is worried about me going alone ..... like cmon if he cant go and i cant go alone how the hell am i gonna do this?

Ahem... you are a "big girl" now and as such it's about time you started showing some of that independence that you will be needing and having here before much longer. It's one thing for BF (and less so BF's daddy) to offer to help, another to "demand" it as if you're not capable. I suggest that you just pick a good weather day and go. Second choice would be for you and BF to plan a "day together at the zoo" or back to back "movies at the theater", then go do what needs to be done and daddy knows nothing and is none the wiser. Pull up them knickers "girl" and start the transition to "adult/woman"...

Lmfao im just picking and day and going myself yes it would be nice to have my bf along for company but it isnt nessecarily necesary to have him come with me. Ive let the breeder know ill be heading down there sometime in february as soon as i have a cover for the back of my truck or a livestock box i may possibly be able to borrow. So up go the big girl knickersAhem... you are a "big girl" now and as such it's about time you started showing some of that independence that you will be needing and having here before much longer.
