I GOT ACCEPTED TO NURSING SCHOOL!

FUCK Yeah! I’m so happy!!!

 

If only my dad were as happy about it as I am. He asked me if the Nursing school was a 2 year program. I said "If Amir is stationed there for 2 years then I’ll get to finish out there. If he’s not then I will have to pick it up where we move to next." 

He got an attitude and said "You’re crazy. Why don’t you just stay there and finish? Or better yet stay here and finish."

I said "Amir’s at WAR right now. I’m not going to NOT be with him when he comes back." 

He said "Well, you need to think about your career and stop following him around."

I said "I’m not going to stay here while he’s out there. That’s stupid. Why would I want to be separated from him AGAIN if he’s going to be in the US?"

He said "Well, there are planes. That’s what planes are for. You could visit each other."

I said "No, I’m not doing that. I’m not talking about this anymore."

He said "I’m just telling you what I think. You shouldn’t ask me what you should do then."

I said "I didn’t ask you!! I don’t care what you think I should do. I’m going with Amir. I’m not staying here. I’ve already been accepted to Nursing school out there. Why would I stay here?"

He said "Fine, I don’t care then."

 

This is the second night in a row that he’s brought up me staying back home and finishing my degree. It’s like he doesn’t want me to be with Amir. . . like he doesn’t care if we’re together. He acts like he doesn’t understand my feelings.

I’m so happy! Congrats on Nursing School! That’s a big deal!!! Your dad is just sad to be losing you, he loves you. He’ll get over it when he realizes how much you and Amir love each other. 🙂

Congrats on getting into school! I’m sure your dad will come around. I don’t know what it is about dads and their daughters, maybe he just doesn’t want to let you go and doesn’t want you to leave again. I’m sure it will work itself out. take care!

i’m two years into my nursing degree in the uk. dropped out of university when i was younger, the degree i had chosen was wrong for me, and i still never hear the end of it from my dad – 7 years on! i’m sure your dad will be proud when you’ve qualified, wherever you choose to learn, and ultimately it is your choice, he needs to respect that. xx
