HYPOCRACY AT IT'S BEST! I am trying to hold back, but honestly, you have little right to criticize DA's unhappiness. You pay for food and books?! Pretty sure that most students pay that and for more.
Now my parents are well to do, but I cleaned my account out each month to cover rent. I was living off just bread for quite some time because I had to pay my utilites. I was working overtime and I still had to check my books out of reserve because I couldn't afford to buy them. But I didn't complain. I started being grateful for the ability to go to college period and other greater things. I don't want elicit any sympathy. I have a charmed life. I do. And I realize it. My parents saw how hard I worked and are helping me out tremendously now.
I am just incredibly awestruck that you have the AUDACITY to criticize DA. She will appreciate things in due time. But you really ought to have a LOT more sympathy. Seems like you and your mother are a team. I believe that is what DA is searching for. For her father to be her partner not her adversary. She could just as easily argue that she doesn't have a mother figure anymore while you do.
Compassion, that's all I am requesting. Human compassion. Everyone is so quick to judge and slow to love now a days.
