My family (venting my frustrations)

Tell dad fair is fair and to give you 40G's

Honestly, dont over analyze shlt. It will drive you nuts. Take the hummer, pack it with broads and beer and head off skiing this weekend. Then ask pops for your 40G's when you get back

I wish that I had something to suggest that did not have a positive and a negative. Family issues can be very difficult to deal with personally and even more difficult to deal with as a third party, because you can never know how others might react.

I would personally work with him, if you think that you can deal with him and that he won't leave you out to dry within a few months. Keep the final goal in sight. That is what others have told me here. And if your final goal is to work on these things full time and to fund it, money is going to make that possible.

I would not worry about being "given" something like this. Regardless of what you might think your father thinks of you, the reason he is asking you to work with him instead of someone else is because he sees something in you, and that is earning something, in my books. In my experience, even with family, respect was never something I just got because I was their son. It is something that I needed to earn. Tough, but the real world is like that too. And I say this even in spite of the current hand I've been dealt, leaving me about as low on the totem in my parents' eyes as is possible.

I guess I have given a little bit of advice, but make sure you look at it just like that: as advice. I wouldn't leap just because me or someone else thinks you should. But don't toss it out, either. In the end, the decision is yours alone.

Let us know how things go. And if you're making millions someday, send an H1 my way, okay? It can be a beater, I'm fine with that.

Family issues suck... PERIOD!

I have been and always want to be the Black sheep.. It is just me and how I am. I could have stayed in VA with family and made so much more money than I could have anywhere else. F that, I am very successfull and proud that I did it on my own.
And now my family is dealing with inherentence and who gets what and so on etc. I am sure somehow I will get a lil screwed, becuase of me not always being there.
But for you, You sound like your heading in the right direction. You teach people and that alone is a gift, doesn't matter what you teach. You have got your accredidation on your own, that is awesume. You have to do what you want in life and not try and please your folks or your friends. You obiviosly have talent in sking, so stick with it. Life isn't about money, its about how you live life. You may not end up a wealthy man or maybe you will. But how will you get there? Being forced by your family? or on your own?
And all this stuff about the $ 40k, Be glad that someone is still there to help her out. Don't listen to the blame game. Its your parents money and not yours, so you will have to sit back and watch and wait.

You on your own will be just fine, "Dude" don't stress the lil shiate.




Oh yeah, one more thing. You getting married young was a good thing, the fact it didn't last is not a bad thing, shiate happens! It will turn out to be a great lesson as you get older. "This I know" been there done that = Applies.

Not you Silly!

Don't work for your controlling father, you'll be miserable. Unless you really need the cash, that is.

The military would be great for so many reasons, but it's not a refuge to run away to.
