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.

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.
Just like most parents, ours wanted us to be a successful businesswoman, doctor, or lawyer. And we tried to be interested in those things, but we just love writing. It called to us from an early age, always journaling and documenting life around us. It's what brought us joy, and when our parents saw how happy we were when we were writing, they couldn't expect us to do anything else. Because, in the end, our parents wanted us to be happy. You would think most parents would react that way, you might hope, at least. But that's unfortunately not the case.
In our story today, a woman decides mid-med school that she wants to pursue a career in design. Her parents, who banked on her becoming a doctor, take the news really harshly. 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.
