My family is deeply rooted in warped sense of conservatism and Christianity. So basically anyone who isn’t working, or living a productive life is seen as a leech and a deadbeat. I decided to leave my job of 2 1/2 years to focus on my school work full time. I already have a steady source of income through disability, and from the G.I. Bill which I received after I left the military. I admit, it may not be enough to live on after a while, but I do have money saved up to keep me afloat until I can think about finding part time work.
Already hearing of rumors and the gossip being spread, and it’s all getting to me. Goals and ambitions be damned, it’s all about working no matter how much it does destroys your body and mental health. That’s my family’s logic anyways. I hate that they all have that mentality. It’s getting in my head and making me regret leaving my job, but I’m doing what I feel is best.
Anyone else deal with this? How did you handle it?
Edit: Just realized the title says me instead of my. I guess I’m a pirate now. Lol.
