[quote=Anonymous]OP, you ARE playing the victim. Here’s the funny thing with college: in DC we all tend to feel we owe it to our kids. But ultimately, that is a value judgment. Plenty of people think you should find your own way in the world…a lot of kids get cut off at age 18. Some will join the military for the GI Bill, some will do ROTC on campus; some will work for a company that gives scholarships and use it at a community college. There are ways to make things happen. You seem to be all about you. Have you ever bothered to contemplate what led to your dad’s drug dependence? Maybe he has mental health demons of his own, but you want to only see him as a selfish jerk who didn’t give you what you wanted. You don’t have to put up with the bad behavior. For your own good, though, trying to view him with some compassion rather than vitriol might be better for your own state of mind. [/quote]
