I just recently turned 17 my mom is a doctor and my dad is a lawyer. They are not rich we are just average nigerians struggling to survive. My dad was making a little money while we were in calabar and he paid our fees and trained my mother to be a doctor then things went bad for him we relocated to lagos my mom started her practice she has been the breadwinner ever since she pays my fees and extra lesson fees and it hasn't been easy for her my dad tried working in some places but you know how poorly lawyers are paid in nigeria so he set up his business but there isn't any clientale base so things are rough for him at the moment lately my mom suspects my dad of cheating cause he doesn't give her money truth is I don't buy that cause even the clothes and shoes my dad wears are worn out my dad comes back early from work every day on weekends he's at home he lives a simple life and my dad doesn't lie so the other day there was an argument between my mom and dad and she dragged him out of the room that one must die and my dad was still maintaining his cool that's how my dad Is no matter what he's always cool so she was abusing and cursing him that it will never be better for him and stuff and she went to drag his shirt he mistakenly hit her in her eyes the next day carried her to the hospital the doctors said she should do a ct scan cause of that my dad went sober he has been begging her since and anytime we have my mom will call us and tell us our dad doesn't love us that he gives money to alll his girlfriends outside that if she dies that I will have to train my sisters am just 17 what does she expect an ssce holder to do when many graduates are without jobs when other parents are praying for long life to train their kids mines always talking of death death death one night she called all my aunts and uncles and told them she's sick then she called me and showed me where her credentials are that I should be wise she showed me her ATM cards she said I should sell her car so I can train my sisters this isn't her first time of doing this she has been doing it but this is the last straw that has broken the cames back cause of what she says I keep having bad dreams I can't sleep if she coughs my heart skips I can't handle this psychologically please nairalanders help me what do I do ?

ariel: I like what Ijebuman said, we could start by thinking out of the box instead of waiting for government, it's really not that easy though when we think of finances, but if we have good ideas we could sell it, we could get backers, i was thinking why not start with the corpers thinking out of the box instead of selling recharge cards, lets challenge our selves and look at the points ijebuman raised.
