Resignation - Day 11 of 21

Dec 16, 2006 13:33

At the halfway point.  Funnily enough I'm getting more crap at home for quitting work than I am at work.  My parents are behaving like this is the worst possible thing I could have done to them as a daughter.  I'd like to interject a little reality if I may.  Here are issues/problems/complications I do not have in my life:

- Eating disorder
- Habit of self-mutilation
- Substance abuse
- Debilitating health or mental issues
- A criminal record
- An unplanned child
- Functioning as a college/high school drop out

Maybe it's a small blessing to be a normal individual but, in the end, I still feel blessed.  It's just a shame that my parents have lost perspective of what choices a child could make to ruin their lives and how this doesn't even qualify.

At this point I'm looking forward to leaving my job just so I can leave home.  When I'm not getting the silent treatment from MY PARENTS I'm being reminded of how this is the path to financial ruin and that they're so angry with me they can't even talk about it.  If anything I'm happier about my decision because it taught me a valuable lesson - I can do something that will cost the respect, patience, and unconditional love of my parents.

Well, it looks like a sucky Christmas for me but, hey, New Year should be on the upside!
