BiAxident Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 My father and I have always gotten along; we never had any of the stereotypical clashes during my teenage years. Since my mother passed away several years ago, we grew closer yet. He isn't the best example to follow, but he's a good person. However, he has been unemployed now for over a year. In my state, the unemployment rate is high, he is unskilled, and has medical issues. Odds are good that he'll never work another day again. Unemployment benefits will be running out soon. Despite having two college degrees, I have been unable to find a full-time job even with a year of searching. On top of all of this, I'm twisting in the wind over an XGF, and planning to start lawschool part time on the weekends so that maybe I can get a $35k job in four years from now. I have no idea how to juggle all of this. How can I help keep my father off the street while trying to live my own life with the only woman I've ever really loved while I only make $600 per month? My XGF has a great career, but lives 30 miles away from me, so if I'm going to be with her, I cant really work 2nd shift or weekends. I feel trapped. Suffocated. I see no way to a happy ending Link to post Share on other sites
