Daughter swears not to take care of parents in their old age after they refuse to forgive her for leaving med school to follow her passion: "I told them flat out that won't be happening"

Every parent loves imagining what their kids will be like when they grow up, and they all want their children to end up happy, successful, and stable. However, some parents their take musings over their kids' lives way too far and let them become expectations. They plan their kids' futures meticulously, ignoring their wants, needs, and dreams. If these parents' sons and daughters stray from the path laid out before them, they risk facing family disappointment, and in some cases, being completely shunned by the very people that are supposed to support them the most.

However, when they see her succeed in her field years later, they begin to talk about more expectations that they have for her. Not forgetting how they treated her as she struggled to make it as a designer, she outright refuses. Scroll down below to get all the details.

If family helps family, then why didn't they help her when she was struggling to make it in her career? They totally would have helped her get back on her feet if she had given in and gone back to med school, following the path that they laid out for her. However, since she strayed, they decided not to, proving that their “help” is conditional.
