“My mother has been suffering from Parkinson’s disease for the past few years. But recently, her condition has gotten much worse. I feel bad being at school, away from my family. But when I ask if I should come home, they tell me that my education is more important. Lately, I’ve had a really hard time trying to focus on my work because I feel selfish spending all my time on literature rather than my family. Can someone at SCRS help me figure out how to come to terms with my situation?”
WHAT SCRS CAN DO:
- Help you deal with the emotional conflicts that your situation presents
- Help you figure out what role you can play in helping your family while still maintaining your effectiveness as a student
