I need some advice. I'm a potential nursing student living in Texas. Living at my parents home. My situation at home is problematic, I have a older brother that lives at my parents home as well but does marijuana. He is very abusive and has been harassing me for a long time now, but I am just not finacial able to leave. Since my terminally ill father has passed away a little over a year ago things have only gotten worse. I wanted to press charges on my brother several times now, but am afraid that if I do when I do my background check for the texas board of nursing that my name will come up in connection to charges I want to file and make me look bad. Out of fear for my future career I am forced to continue to live in this very difficult situation. Please keep in mind that I am a full time student, I mantain a 3.2 GPA and i also work. I am a good person and have never done anything illegal in my life. If there is anybody that can give me advice I would really appreciate it, I don't know what to do.
