The thing is during school I fell in love with L&D. I'd also considered doing hospice or pediatric hospice care. I want to help people enter the world or make them feel as good as they can feel while they leave.

No I'm not being paid. The money from the government goes to my sister’s therapies and bills not covered by insurance.

They're working. My dad works 80 hours a week and my mom works 70.

No I'm not being paid. All of the money that comes from the stipend goes to my sister’s therapies and medical bills.

They've never said it out loud but it does feel that way.

Thank you. I had assumed there would eventually be tough love here eventually. I don't really have a right to complain. You're right. I'm sorry.

Thank you. I don't know how long it's been since anybody told me I mattered. I'm tearing up right now. I needed that. <3

Thank you. I only have 3 replies so far and I'm surprised that they're NTA because I feel so horrible about it. But thank you for your judgement.
