POOR FINANCIAL SITUATION

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

One of my good friends from college, David, really went through some tough times with his family while we were at school. He had to deal with it on his own, away from his family, and I was there for him to help him. His parents were not really getting along, and a lot of it was because of his father’s very poor financial situation. His business had failed, and even had him looking into Brooklyn Chapter 7 bankruptcy. His mom was also pretty unhappy living in Brooklyn. She had been born and raised in Texas, and the New York lifestyle just was not for her. I really felt bad for David, but I also felt pretty bad for his younger brother Alex. He was only thirteen, and living at home. I would hate to be living at home in the middle of fighting parents, and it must have been really hard for him at that age to deal with it. David did not really seem to take it too hard, but I know that it did bother him. I never really brought the situation up, but I was always there to listen if he wanted to talk about it.
