[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 345340, member: 2315"] Yes the whole thing sounds very weird. Unfortunately there is little you can do about it though. So my advice is to approach the subject with care and without accusations. Then let her make her own informed choices. Hopefully your easy child will see that this is not the best of situations before she gets brain washed into being just like Casper's mother. Sometimes I think we should make our kids, even our easy child's, sign promissory notes that state that the money we spend for college and trade school has to be paid back if they do [U][I]not [/I][/U]use their education for at least ten years. My easy child blew off her dream to be a doctor because her boyfriend had a life plan that included marriage when my daughter was just out of college. She graduated in May and was married in July. Instead of medication school she went into a PhD program in research. Alas she didn't get to finish that either due to a pregnancy that resulted in a premature birth. She terminated her education at a master's degree when her first born was three thus closing the door at one of the best medical colleges in the US because she was on a full grant. She then had a second child and ended up so depressed she required therapy. From that she got the courage to go against her husbands wishes and worked part time for a pharmasutical company until her division was closed down. She then went to schoold to become a yoga instructor which her husband did pay for but which she is no longer using either. I believe this restlesness is because she gave up her life dream for another person's life dream. It would have been so much better for both of then if they had merged their dreams into a plan that suited both of them. As hind sight is 20-20, they both admit they made a mistake getting married so soon but it is too late for my daughter to persue her MD now. She is now faced with trying to find another career that will fulfill her and give her happiness and contentment. I can only pray that she does. It stinks when our daughters give up dreams for another person's adgenda. But I made the mistake of going on the record when she got engaged and it cause all kinds of strife between the families for many years. -RM [/QUOTE]
