My happiest days.

I spent 3 years studying at nursing school and I had a great time there. I made many friends. For the first time I was spending so much time away from home with the justification that I was studying. Great! ...It was an institute that used to be a place of study of continuous permanence, in other words, the three years of study were done while staying there and all applicants for these studies had to stay and live there.

From Unsplash.

By the time I got there this policy had ended. We had a morning and afternoon schedule with classes. I enjoyed it a lot, I still remember many anecdotes from my stay there.

My father hated that I decided to study nursing, every day that he could he would insult me for my choice, he would use a series of insults related to the work that nurses were supposed to do, like bathing patients, treating sick men's genitals, leaving work late, and other things that came to his sick mind.

Of course I tried my best to avoid him in the mornings and at night. But unfortunately many times when I had to take a car to get to my place of study, he just so happened to drive close by in his car and he would take me, and start again with his insults... It was terrible!

And when he left me there he gave me a certain amount of money to cover the expenses of the week... But it was only enough for one day. He never knew that I had a scholarship for the last two years of my career and he would never find out. With my money I was able to pay for all my study expenses, clothes and food, as well as help my mother with the household expenses. And I also raised a small amount of money to buy her gifts, like clothes and shoes. Those were very good times.

I was able to pay my graduation expenses... And the expenses of the many documents needed by then.

And then my graduation came. Those were the days, church, the conference room, my cap and gown... But you know what? My father did not miss my graduation, he wanted to appear in all the photos we took. Every time we were taking a picture there he was, I don't know where he came from. Always hugging people for the picture.

Of course, he did not remember that the career I chose was an offense to him, that during all my years of study he wanted me to regret my choice.

Now he wanted pictures, hugs and kisses... Those were the worst photos I can remember. I would call my mom quickly and take the photo as soon as possible so he wouldn't have time to get there. It's an experience I can't remove from my mind.

Lol that's probably what my dad would have done. Luckily my graduation is online. No need for parents, just my presence alone is enough

I congratulate you for that !! And I'm glad you don't have people at your graduation who don't deserve a memory of that happy moment for you.

True. My graduating was entirely of my own effort since i even had to work part time just to pay some of the fees he refused to

I paid everything because I had my scholarship and I saved to buy everything. Nobody had to give me anything for my studies. And this prompted me to do my second career. That I also paid for it.

I saw that in your stories. I would've done the same with such a father. Unfortunately mine forbade us to look for work and my scholarship was lost because of him. I hate it.

Are they not helping and incidentally not helping you earn your own income? That bad! Then I'll talk about my second career.

Nope. Everything i did to earn extra was in secret. Your second career... was your doctor career, right?

Yes, the first race inspired me the second. That of a doctor. I paid the same, with scholarships and working hard all my vacations.

It paid off amazingly in the end though. Would love to take up medicine after a few years in the industry too

Worth it. The feeling when you help someone with your science is incredible.

I'm just saying that if you really want it, you will make it.

Most likely he still didn't want you to be a nurse. What he did want is to be noticed. He wanted people to see he is the great guy who made it all possible. It says a lot about him if not everything.

It's true, he always wanted to look like a great man. I never saw a good friend of hers. Of so many that he said he had, nothing really.

A sad person who did not achieve anything. It's good you were smart enough to find a way out.

Everyone in my family did it independently. Each one as he could. Thank God!!

Your father was proud of you, that moment is your happiest day, that was also the most happiest day of your father. The insults you receive everyday because of your choice of a course is not a gauge that your father hates you. In my opinion he was just testing you to the limits, your stand of your choice, and you have made it. That makes him so proud of you.

Too bad you just read about my life. You would discover reality. No. He never had any kind of responsibility to any of his children. He fathered us but they all defended themselves as best they could. And then it's easy to be proud, right?

But then, you are still lucky of having a father, even if he is not responsible, with me, the day I was born I am fatherless, he left us for another woman, I don't know him and had not seen his face until his death, but there's no hate in me because I owe him my life, without him there was no me.

You are right not to have hatred. It is the best for our being. and it is true that without them we would not be a living being. But the detail is having him as a father figure at home is fortunate. But that this figure does nothing for a family to grow, it is not luck either. My mother raised us, gave us everything. Food, study and most importantly, all values.

A father in the home is important. I thank God because I was born thanks to him and to GOD, but I write down everything that I lived with an irresponsible father in the family.

Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it.
