Don't work for your controlling father, you'll be miserable. Unless you really need the cash, that is.

The military would be great for so many reasons, but it's not a refuge to run away to.

Seriously, My parents got divorced when I was 20. My mom moved in with a guy shortly after and lived with him- even today, without marrying. They didn't marry because the alimony ( a significant sum) would stop. After years and years (5 or so) I kept telling my dad it was bs everytime we talked and told him he needed to do something about it. I think alimony is bs anyway. Well, eventually he did (last year)- but put me on the stand as a witness, that they were living together, against my mom. That was...... weird.

Your Parents are going through a lot. It causes them to reflect and make their childrens pliable minds a mess. Be there for them but keep a distance.

If the marriage was going to fail it was going to fail, regardless of anything you or your sister could have done or did.

Your sister could very well have had this disorder for awhile now, like millions of girls do in these times. She could also be going through a lot of stress because of the divorce, becoming an adult etc. Some girls eat when they stress, some don't. I don't eat when I am stressed and sometimes get really really thin. If she isn't all that thin but has expressed this disorder, she could be crying out for attention- which is normal in these situations. Either way- the treatment will help her get away and tend to herself.

I worked for my Dad for years as a surgical assistant. Though working with family is odd at times, it can be helpful. You may likely inherit what your Dad has today- working your way up into management/in the company can really do you good and a family business can reap rewards without much school. I couldn't be a surgeon no matter how hard I worked or what I knew, but I learned a lot and took many different positions to learn and take advantage.

When you are young- and I forget how old you are but I think you are a little younger than I, you get dreams and ideas and thoughts seem to flow through your mind and the world seems endless- yet hopeless sometimes. You need to get focused on how you will make a living, make a plan and do it. Emerse yourself into working and doing it for yourself- take pride in it.

You seem to have a huge heart and that gets you into trouble sometimes- like so many of us. You need to step back and realize that you cannot change people. Stay away from negative people and negative thoughts. A positive mind can do wonders. Take care of you and be responsible for you. That means having the morality to tell yourself wat you need to do and refrain from steering clear of your path. Everyone else will find their way as well.

Helpful words CP. Thanks.

The divorce took place in 1993, but they have been at it ever since. I have always tried to keep my distance. I just worry about my mom sometimes since she lives alone and has always suffered from depression. Being told she was the root cause of all her daughters problems, I just got more worried than usual.

My dad's been trying to get me involved in his businesses for years. Luckily, I never went into college trying to match what he was doing at the time, as those businesses are long gone...

I feel for you.
Best advice I can give is be responsible for yourself.

As for working for your father. Ask yourself this. If for whatever reason the buisness goes under will he blame you? And if so is it worth the hassle? Frankly your father seems to be someone who no matter what happens in his life, if it's bad it's always someone elses fault.
And if I may be so bold your mother seems just the opposite.

we can only blame our issues on our parents for so long. You have a mind of your own; use it. And above all else be reponsible for you self.

Whatever you decide good luck.
