What my family has done to me who has worked for them for about 27 years

 If I had chosen to work at any other company for 27 years instead of helping my family with their businesses then......

-  I would have a management position

-  I would have gotten regular raises instead of being barely above minimum wage the entire time.

-  I'd have retirement benefits

-  I would have money saved up and be able to invest how I see firt

-  My expertise in the many fields would have more weight

-  I would be totally independent instead of dependent on them as they have done this on purpose.  Every action they have taken is only to make me, my aunt, and my daughter more dependent on them rather than independent. 

 So in summary they as in the family has literally made me depend on them due to their lack of support and when I say support I DONT MEAN MONEY, they have no empathy for any other human begin whatsoever, and I honestly don't know what kind of religion they practice because it is nothing like what the bible teaches at all.  So take what they say with a grain of salt because I have done all the research and can explain why on any topic I know about and why this family is the way that they are.
