I work with many people in the medical professions that have chronic migraine. It did not stop them from having the career of their choice. Your family is a big pile of c r a p. You are better than them. You didn't deserve any of this.

Don't worry that your background will prevent you from becoming an EMT or paramedic. If you had drug convictions, or violent crimes it would be a different story. But you have overcome much, and you deserve to get into the program. Having a useless family is not a strike against YOU its a strike against THEM.

HUGS and I LOVE YOU
