Is it wrong to avoid a parent who is trying to take advantage of you financially/involve you in a business you don't want to participate in?

1 Answer

Answer :

Wad up L-Tryp… This is your life. Not your fathers. If you have no desire to be involved in the family business, then that is your choice and he should respect that. Try talking to him about it. If he can’t respect your decision, then it’s his problem, not yours. My father wanted me to take my life in an entirely different direction and I had to explain to him that I wanted to do what made me happy; what I was passionate about. He understood and began supporting me. I can only hope your dad is as rational. If not, I am sorry for any pain he is causing you. It’s a tough situation because he’s your own flesh and blood. Should you have to accept any pain because you rejected the business? No. You shouldn’t have to, but it sounds like you’ll get it anyway. Try not to let it bother you. Perhaps he’ll get over it soon. It sucks that sometimes the people who love us the most have the ability to hurt us the most. :/ Good luck.
