Two years ago, I threw away my own future for his family. He looked me in the eye and told me: "We're a family. Someone has to stay behind." So I quit my job, buried my dreams, and spent two years as his mother's dedicated caretaker. Yet when an old acquaintance needed a push, he didn't hesitate for a second before telling her: "Never let anything stand in the way of your career." He overhauled her resume, stayed up running mock interviews with her, and planned out her entire future. My reward? A "flexible" part-time gig meant to ensure I never stopped keeping house. Standing in her sleek new corner office, looking at the very world I had surrendered, I finally made up my mind to reclaim my career.
