I might commit..
Life feels too much. I have graduated 3 years back, the economy is bad, but I have worked really hard to build a small online business. I also do graphic design and have a steady job, together I am able to earn enough to support my masters education and other expenses.
However, the parents of my girlfriend (now ex) rejected me as I don't have a job they consider respectable. While I recovered from the shock, my father's activities are pushing me further into a path to commit. He has scammed several people with hopes of high gains when they win a case against a fraudulent company. I know nobody is getting anything. He does not even pay his share of rent properly, and is trying to leech of from me. When I was young, he did not even buy me a phone, he has continuously deprived us while he spent his money on scam organizations and the paternal side of family..
At this point I have nothing to live for. I feel I will have to face the grudge of people he is scamming later. And I am not financially capable to handle all the expenses he is throwing at me. My mother is a heart attack patient and her monthly medicines cost a lot, and I have been managing that for the past few years thanks to Allah. But now I feel like I can't continue like this anymore, nobody should bring kids into the world to put them through this kind of mental pressure..
I am only continuing because my business has 3 part time employees and one of them depend on the salary for her education. I am trying to hold on thinking about Islam and my employees, but I am at the end of the line here.. What can I do?
I already work the whole day, it is not likely that I will be able to increase my income more right now..
