    For everyone complaining that she was bragging about their wealth: the point of that was to illustrate how they went from everything to having nothing which then led to her frustration, confusion and depression. That's it

    Her parents should have informed her early on to their financial decline and supported her through the process instead of saying we can't pay for your education. Why not a junior college or something? Why did it have to be all or nothing? She wasn't taught how to deal with the big bumps in life. If a child is raised to understand having money is a blessing then they are less selfish in their thinking. Her parents didn't teach her life skills. Why did she only have 2 choices? She didn't but she believed what her dad told her. When she got to the military she was ill prepared for the "deprived" setting versus her wealthy upbringing. She gravitated to the people who had the most problems versus the people were going to make the most of their military career. So many bad choices that started with her dad's poor guidance and her then poor choices. Money without personal responsibility and guidance is a recipe for disaster.
