Dad was an alcoholic and finally left when I was 18. He left 3 young girls and a needy mother that could not drive. We are very independent women and amazing mothers. He passed away and never spent time with his grandchildren. They all turned out great. Mother still lives in the past, very upset at my dad. There was a line in Fresh Prince, “ I’m going to be a better father than he ever was. I’m going to love my wife and kids.” That’s us.

Hopefully very different... my Dad was violent and my Mom an enabler.... very hard now to pretend with my siblings that he was a great Dad as we care for him at 94 years old

My dad was so happy when I got out of college and landed a salaried job with benefits. Mom supported whatever I decided to do. Took a few years for them to understand/realize the potential.

Seeking advice on what to do career wise.

I’m still in my first year at Deloitte as a campus-hire. Feeling like this position isn’t for me, not fully enjoying what I’m doing, don’t feel like my coworkers value my work/me (I only work with men), and feeling like I am not getting adequate opportunities to grow my knowledge/experience in the work I do and also cross-department opportunities.

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?
