Yep, I planned on letting him know the real reason, but only after I'm completely moved. I don't want to risk any more drama until I'm long gone! But yes he needs to know the truth. His mom and older brother already know, I had a talk with them too. He is moving back in with his mom temporarily so she will finally get a chance to see how bad off he is.

Wow, that is really impressive, MSD. I completed two years of pharmacy school and then I had an epiphany and quit. I loathed it! My grades were stellar and I could've gone all the way, but in my soul, I knew it wasn't the right career path for me. So now I'm going back to become an Occupational Therapist, which is obviously a lower paying path, but much more rewarding for me. I have been working with a quadriplegic patient for some time now and I really enjoy what I do and I'm GOOD at it. At first I was worried that I wouldn't be loved or valued if I chose a lower paying path because both my parents are very successful and wealthy - but on the contrary, they only want me to be happy. I'm getting misty eyed just thinking about how wonderful they have been over the past few years!
