Ok, here's a couple scenarios:
1) You drop out and get a job. You 'rents get pissed off at you, but you are contributing. It may also give your father the kick in the ass he needs.
2) You drop out and get a job. This may also drive your father deeper as he is now wtching his son do a better job supporting his family then he is.
Or,
3) You stay where you are. It's DAMN hard to go back once you've dropped out and there is no telling how long you will need to help support your family.
I'm sorry, I just can't feel sorry for your father. When your mother was diagnosed was your father's time to step up to the plate and take one for the team. Yes, it is difficult to go from a 6 figure salary to a more average salary. I know this as I have done the same. The job I am working at now is for 2/3rds what I was making at my previous, pre-bubble, job and I am doing twice the work. I count myself lucky to have a job period.
