Re: estranged from fam?
I know several M.D.'s who went through medical school, residency, AND fellowship without any financial help from their parents due to various reasons. It wasn’t easy for them. Life was far from cushy but thanks to their determination, they made it.
from what you have written here so far…you have the resources available to you (and you’re old enough) where you can live life as an independant adult while trying to improve your relationship with your parents. But if living as an independant adult is too much for you to handle…and you want to continue leading a financially cushy life by having your parents help you financially as you finish med school, then in my opinion, you really shouldn’t be complaining about any of this.
Everything in life has its price. In your case, it looks like the treatment you’re getting is going to be your “price” for having the luxury of not having a very difficult time while finishing med school.
