Good lord, I'm away for two days and this thread just gets wreckier.

And do you really not see why that disagreement seems a bit . . . presumptious since you know
nothing about her situation except what she has posted here?

It's not your fault that Michigan is a bad place to be at the moment, but it is your fault that you choose to stay there. In fact, your decision aside from that is pretty laudable. You put your family ahead of your career. Good for you, but you did that.

Kevin, if your parents are in the situation where they need your care, then let me know how much of a true choice you think it really is. Sometimes it may be a true choice, but often it's Hobson's choice.
