The Discounted Burden I find it funny actually. When I gave up my career in tech to become a full-time caregiver for my father. I was called “stupid”. When I kept him at home instead of putting him in a nursing home, I was called “crazy”, and when I left my career in acting to focus on doing it right, I was called “greedy” and “lazy” because I was just “waiting on him to die” so I could see what I could get. (People actually said this to both of us) But they don’t know how fathers and sons work, I’m guessing. I did it because it seemed like the right thing to do. Just like him sending me to get educated seemed like the right thing to do....
