heartsOhearts's blog: "Family Issues"

How do you deal with the fact that lately, all you've done is disappoint your family. I've always been the good kid, I've gotten amazing grades, I never got in trouble and I always did what I was told. Lately, I can't help but feel that my dad is extremely disappointed in me. He asks me what I'm going to do with my life over and over again. Just because I've decided I no longer want to go to med school doesn't mean I'm going to be a bum. I'm still going to school (yes, I have changed my major 3 times, but at least I'm trying to accomplish something neither of my parents were able to accomplish.) I guess it's hard since I'm so used to being the "good" daughter... I know they just want me to succeed, I just wish he could do it a little less negatively.

So a few of you know how tough it's been for me at home lately. Well here's an update, my sister is refusing to get treatment for her drug abuse, abusive personality and eating disorder. She's putting major strain on our family and making everyone stress out. This week has been nothing better, she's broke and wants money. I'm not giving it to her though because she's now dead to me. After stealing from me, my parents and my grandmother, she's dead. Never again will I buy her something or give her money. She's telling us she might move with her boyfriend and his family to Florida... god help the Flordians but thank god for us! If she doesn't leave soon, all hell will break loose. My All-American family is going to fall apart. Everyone keep your fingers crossed!
