Anger

Yesterday, Ty and I went to Little Rock to celebrate "Gotcha Day" with his parents. (Gotcha day is the day Ty's parents brought him home because he was adopted.) Ty's parents were pressuring him to quit at Doc's and come work for the family business, so he can inherit it when his dad retires. Ty has fought working for the business because he doesn't want to be on call in the middle of the night when we have kids like his father was when he was little. Ty's dad offered him a job for $10 an hour and the business within five years. Ty and I discussed it and decided for him to take it. Well, his mother who is a partner in the business was not present when this discussion took place. She decided upon hearing this that she did not want this. I do not understand why. She wanted him to leave his current job and join the business, but she's not wanting to pay him for it. I don't understand. I'm so mad about. We had made a life decision to take over the family business, but now we can't. However, Ty still has to stay at Doc's indefinitely. We are so upset because now we don't know what to do for the future. This job would have allowed me to work as an office manager at home with kids. It also would have allowed us to have insurance, cars, and gas money from the business' income. I'm just so frustrated with all that has happened. I just do not understand Ty's mother. I'm beginning to understand his hostility towards her.
