Find the best financial services for you at: SMARTFINANCESOLUTIONS.NET - Family issues and military enlistment? - Alright i know i'm going to get a bunch of people telling me a that i'm a grown man and i should do what i want but things aren't that simple.
a little about myself; I'm 21 years old, i'll be 22 in December. for the past year or so I've seriously wanting to join the Army. I'm the middle child of 3 sons and I've gone through many phases in my life but the military has always made sense to me. as of right now i will have a college degree in law enforcement. i paid my whole entire way through college by working dead end jobs with no help what so ever from anyone. i also still live with my parents because my mother has issues with letting go but they still accept $400 a month for rent from me. i have also had to pick up the bill from their lawyer when they filed for bankruptcy this year.
Anyway i can get hired right now as a police officer in just about any department in the state but i just don't know if that's what i want to do right now. Growing up i was always the quit kid that no one particularly liked and i always dreamed about being part of something bigger than myself. I know i'm old enough to make my own decisions but my parents are refusing to see me as an adult despite everything i do for them and i dont want to part on bad terms because i know they'll do something really stupid. When i was 18 and i tried joining and my mom chased a recruiter off our porch and threatened to kill herself. Now at at 21 i'm just horribly depressed with letting this dream go seeing as that i have worked so hard for it over the years and neither of my parents see that. one event that really pissed me off was a few weeks ago at my grandma's funeral, my dad's mom not my mom's mom, and my mother's friends came from work to pay their respects and my mom went about introducing me by saying; this is my son Johnny he wants to be a cop and he's not joining the Army. I mean i don't condone hitting women but i really just been wanting to kick the **** out of her lately. She doesn't realize how selfish she is -
