First off thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Just a little bit about myself. I am 28 years old. I spent nine years eight months in the corp. got out on a hardship discharge, my only living family at the time (brother) came down with cancer and i had to leave to take care of him. I did 4 tours over seas in that time. I loved my service with all my heart but that stage in my life is "past".
Now i am about to be attending college minor in C.J. major in psychology. I have a 3 month old daughter now and a wife. I am trying to become a LEO due to the fact i enjoy helping people and its the best way i know how. I working as "mall cop" right now part time due to my family has to eat. It is a means to an end.
Now my question: I have wanted to be a LEO sense i was a child, well my family ( being my brother) supports it one hundred percent. My in-law's on the other hand are against it, due to the fact my mother-in-law father was a LEO and she claims he was mean to her because of it. ( i only know her side of it not his.) I know it is a choice for me and my wife but i trying to keep the in-laws civil as well.
Any advice on how i can get my point across about "I am not her father" kinda speech?
P.S. I know my grammar and spelling are far from the best. i am taking 4 classes on grammar and essays to improve upon my weakness in the subject.
Again thank you for the time to read the wall of text.
with respect
