We used to own several businesses and were financially comfortable until recently. The businesses began decline in sales and we were forced to close them. My father now sells cars in order to make the mortgage payment, etc. My mother has now taken on a part time job to help with bills. My mother has never worked before.
My father is very stressed and sad about this. I can tell.
How I can help him accept the facts and live a happy life?
**** happens, everyone has ups n downs. He doesnt realize this.
Hes emberassed that my mom has to work, hes stressed out cuz he works 60 hours a week for a bullshit job.
Also, i know hes mad that i never became a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. I know that deep down he is thinking that I SHOULD BE PROVIDING and im not.
Im only 21. I go to school and have a job that pays enough for me to take care of myself, but for some reason, i can tell that he wants more.
He expects so much from me that it makes me feel like ****.
I feel like no matter what i do, i will never live up to his expectations.
What can i do to help my dad? My family? Myself?
Were all very depressed right now and have been for sometime.
