Someone else comments, not the asshole.

Is anyone else reminded of Betty Broderick on this one?

She supported her husband through first a medical degree and then a law degree while raising six kids or something.

And at the end of it all, he left her for his secretary and screwed her out of the money she was entitled to.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, that doesn't sound that crazy.

That's horrible.

OP responds, new fear unlocked.

I think like a lot of people too do start saying, what about other careers?

And OP does say, I actually suggested something similar.

I told him maybe starting with something like a CNA license or eventually pursuing nursing could be more realistic and a way to get into healthcare and also give him hands-on experience caring for his parents.

Unfortunately, he was pretty set on becoming a doctor.

i don't know therapy i think he needs to start some therapy asap like something i've like really struggled with is like dealing with just mortality and like my parents getting older and like being so far away from home and like yeah kind of sounds like a midlife crisis almost and that's where i think he's at and i i do i even though it's not midlife but no but it's like when you're faced with like

your parents like a big life shock or whatever and it's just like I understand where he's coming from and this inspiration and motivation behind it but again at the end of the day we have to kind of be on planet earth so I really think some therapy could help him even honestly if he just like

It's time away from your family and your children.

That your parents and you're worried about your parents and the motivation is because of them.

You will lose out on so much time with them, with your kids.

I mean, there's a lot to think about here.

So I really do think, especially if OP is like wants to stand by him and kind of try to work through this right now.

Therapy.
