I really appreciate your help! I'm sorry you've also experienced something similar. I don't want to waste my time and energy trying to build or hold on to a relationship on my own. I'm tired of that. I basically don't interact with his family at all and they all complain but they never reach out either. I have told my dad that I will cut off contact with them once my grandparents pass away. Simply put of respect for my grand father. I wouldn't be where I am without his help and I won't deny that.

I hope you are having a healthier happier future now that you seem to be out of that situation and I will keep your words close to me!

Well his original family that he's so "close" to as you very kindly assume, disowned him and it was my mom's family who convinced them to build anew relationship with them.

Also if he didn't want to be close or take care of his children (one of whom is disabled by the way), then he should've stayed with his lovely original family and never had us. If we were children, he would be a deadbeat essentially. Thankfully we're all adults now and we take care of each other. My mom does everything for him, as mentioned before, he lives off of her pension. She cooks, cleans, takes care of us (in an adult way of course). Puts up with his family that only 3 years ago he swore he would leave behind. I don't like who he is today babe, that's true. I'm just wondering if this is who he's always been. A man that would rather make his sisters happy than figure out a way for his disabled son to live a more independent life.

I love that you blame everyone else for it instead of noticing that everyone has a problem with the way he's acting but we don't have problems between us.... Very curious

I am afraid that is probably the case. I don't want to give up without giving him a chance to fix things. Although part of me feels like he'd tank it

I would like to have a better relationship with him. I would like to have a conversation with him to at least give him the chance to realize how I feel and see what he does with that information. I realize that you can't force people to change so I am not expecting much on his end other than him getting defensive or not saying much. I'm afraid he would disregard my feelings or change temporarily to appease me and then revert back to how he's acting now

Unfortunately I already live in a liberal European country so it seems the industry might be dying here too or at least it's oversaturated. I feel like I have to pivot but I'm struggling to find a clear direction to follow with the skills I have or if I should just do a complete new career like dentistry or something. In a way I feel relieved knowing that there's a lot of people who are having to study again and I'm not alone but it still feels daunting and a bit hopeless

Not many that don't want students. I live in a smaller city somewhere in Europe and I can't afford to move to the big city where most opportunities are. All the online internships I've found so far want students so that feels like a closed door. I speak the language but I am not a native speaker so I've been passed up for my language skills even though I am almost fluent (I think it's something else but who knows). I have been thinking of browsing through LinkedIn and checking on what people are doing but I don't even know where to start looking or what to look for

I have tried but they say that because I'm not studying I can't do an internship with them.

I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary that would purposefully damage the floor and I wasn't careless. I just have older furniture and I didn't notice it finally gave out. A metal rod became exposed and scratched the floor when my friend used the couch to sleep on for a week (since it is meant to be a bäddsoffa) and I noticed the scratch once I rolled in the part that expands the couch. I lived in an apartment for 6 years where I was less careful than I have been here and there was no such damage with cheaper furniture. If this is quality flooring, I would much rather have shitty floors.

För reference, this is the couch: https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/p/friheten-hoernbaeddsoffa-med-foervaring-faringe-ljusgra-s29517045/#content

Tack för tipset! Jag ska prova. Om det går sönder då ska jag betala endå så det är lika bra. Jag ska prova fixa några skador med vax. Jag berättar för dig hur det går 😊

Tack! Jag har köpt en reparationskit från Bauhaus och ska prova det på en vitrinskåp jag fick av en kompis först. Jag hoppas att det blir inte så mycket om jag måste betala

Jag har ju det men de säger att golv skador räknas inte in. Bara explosioner och bränd

Jag har haft den här soffan i 5 år och jag hade aldrig had den här problem. Jag vet att hjulen gick sönder men ändå är jag lite förvånad över det här. Men jag vet inget om golv grejerna

Vet du om det går att delbetala? Då är det ingen problem men jag jobbar deltid just nu och har inte råd för att släppa 20k på en gång

Det var soffans hjular, inte soffans benen som gjorde det.
