My mom always said, you will never amount to anything...you will get fired....you will not succeed...so when I was accepted at nursing school i told my dad and brother and left her out of it..she said did you think they wouldnt tell me i said you make it hard to tell you, mom. she said dont you remember failing out of home health aide 2 years ago...i said ever since then ive kept both my jobs and got promoted at both and im brimming with confidence and im a new person...home health aide is by yourself i want to work on a team...she said she had to hear the why's she needed to know why it would be different. i said how do you feel about ruining your own duaghters life..she said why do you bring up the past...i said YOU just brought up the past now im bringing up the past! she said im surprised your father wasnt negative i used to go to her before my father..i said we've all matured..and hes proven himself the more mature parent..she got up and left...
