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.

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.

Seriously, My parents got divorced when I was 20. My mom moved in with a guy shortly after and lived with him- even today, without marrying. They didn't marry because the alimony ( a significant sum) would stop. After years and years (5 or so) I kept telling my dad it was bs everytime we talked and told him he needed to do something about it. I think alimony is bs anyway. Well, eventually he did (last year)- but put me on the stand as a witness, that they were living together, against my mom. That was...... weird.

Your Parents are going through a lot. It causes them to reflect and make their childrens pliable minds a mess. Be there for them but keep a distance.

If the marriage was going to fail it was going to fail, regardless of anything you or your sister could have done or did.

Your sister could very well have had this disorder for awhile now, like millions of girls do in these times. She could also be going through a lot of stress because of the divorce, becoming an adult etc. Some girls eat when they stress, some don't. I don't eat when I am stressed and sometimes get really really thin. If she isn't all that thin but has expressed this disorder, she could be crying out for attention- which is normal in these situations. Either way- the treatment will help her get away and tend to herself.

I worked for my Dad for years as a surgical assistant. Though working with family is odd at times, it can be helpful. You may likely inherit what your Dad has today- working your way up into management/in the company can really do you good and a family business can reap rewards without much school. I couldn't be a surgeon no matter how hard I worked or what I knew, but I learned a lot and took many different positions to learn and take advantage.

When you are young- and I forget how old you are but I think you are a little younger than I, you get dreams and ideas and thoughts seem to flow through your mind and the world seems endless- yet hopeless sometimes. You need to get focused on how you will make a living, make a plan and do it. Emerse yourself into working and doing it for yourself- take pride in it.

You seem to have a huge heart and that gets you into trouble sometimes- like so many of us. You need to step back and realize that you cannot change people. Stay away from negative people and negative thoughts. A positive mind can do wonders. Take care of you and be responsible for you. That means having the morality to tell yourself wat you need to do and refrain from steering clear of your path. Everyone else will find their way as well.
