Dear N:

Of all that you described, the internship is the only promising option you have. It involves moving away from home, away from the burden you experience regarding your mother’s health, away from the siblings you resent for not acting like they care about your mother (maybe they will once you move), away from the job and co worker you dislike, away from the friend you are hiding from.

The only promising option that I see. Take it…?
