So my sister says she can’t go to the funeral. I’ve realized that my fucking credit card is not as paid off as I thought it was and my funds are low. I broke down and asked my dad if I could borrow some money for the trip and he says he can’t afford it while reassuring me that I didn’t have to go. And my Aunt sent me a text telling me that even if

Hold on, sweetheart, just hold on. Take a few deep breaths and remember that family aren't things you chose.

Then remember how strong you are, how far you've gotten, and how far you never thought you'd ever get.

Then, tell me where you need to go and when you need to be there.

Send me an email if you need to do.

Love you,
-Jessa

I don't want to step in anything, but I'm sure your family would understand if you can't afford the trip. Maybe those relatives that are contacting you to come to the funeral would be able to help you get there - if they want you there so badly? That's the best advice I can give you. Sometimes you just have to say, I can't, but if you want to help me, I'd be happy to try. After all, they're the ones pressuring you, after your father has said you aren't required to be there. Listen to your father, and take solace in how hard you've worked to get where you are, even if there are still limitations on what you can do.

I know us LJ people are sometimes lurkers and don't comment enough, but we can sort of be a support network. Reach out. Someone will listen.
