I have a chance to sign a contract for a record deal. My parents and most of my family thinks its a waste of time. My step-dad is dieing and my mom really needs me. She says all my step- dad wants is to see me succeed, but not in music. I've had dreams taken from me all my life, so why bother with this one?

The best question to ask is do you have the raw talent to be a success? I wouldn't doubt that you are talented and willing to work hard, but if you are not at the peak of your field already then it may be too far to go.
Then again if you have the chance i don't think you have that much to lose. Your situation is difficult with your family but i hope they understand your passion and that this is actaully a good chance to be successful. If you are being offered a record deal then you are probably in the right industry.
Peraps then it is a good idea to start planning for yourself should this turn out to be less than what you are hoping to achieve. It always pays to be smart. Plus doing this sort of planning would show your family your maturity and how you aren't putting all your eggs in the one basket.

Do you actually have any idea of how many people ridicule and worse, only because they don't understand or, they don't recognize what potential another person has. This has been the experience of many famous people.. they just didn't listen to the critics.
Has any logic been presented which would make you question your decision? Your recording will not take a lot of time. If your step dad is dying, tell him to wait until you have your record deal made. This appears to be a manner of control rather than giving you a logical answer. It will not interfere with you actually helping your mom.

Hey Chick ....... If you believe in yourself you go girl .... don't play the blame game its negative .... Be positive say positive things have positive thoughts and you will have positive outcomes ...
At the end of the day who is being offered the record deal you or your family .... Who wants to see you succeed ....you do..
You choose not to follow your dreams nobody takes them from you .... you can turn that around by simply shifting your attitude..
After the rain when you look out the window some people see the mud other people see the stars ...what sort of person are you ...

You can't allow other people to control your life. You have to make decisions for yourself, weigh out the pros and cons. Their negativity is coming from the fear if it doesn't work out. Do you have a back up plan? You should make sure you have a back up plan. I've heard it's a rough business and you've got to have thick skin. If you can't handle your family's comments then how do you expect to handle the negative aspects of the business? Do what you feel is right for you but maintain realistic expectations and be there for your step-dad simultaneously. If this is where your heart and passion is, why stop now?
Make sure you have a lawyer look at any contract you sign!!!!!!!!!

It is your life to live, not theirs. Go for it and make your dreams come true for you. If you don't you will regret it later, and I wasted years trying to make an abusive family happy (an impossible task) I am happier now and I have made some of my own personal dreams come true, but I am also sick, possibly dying. The point I'm trying to make is don't waste your life living it for someone else, you can't get it back. So go for your dreams while the chance is there. I wish you the best, hope I hear you on the radio someday. :)

Sign the contract but let the company know of your family priorities. This way you won't be in a position years from now wondering what you might have missed if you had turned it down...

its your life it is up to you to decide what you want in life what happens if you did not sign the contract and it turned out to be a good move how would you feel and if it did not turn out the way you want it to turn out you would just pick your self up and start again this opportunity my never occur again do you want to go through life having people telling you what you should and should not do
everyone has made mistakes in there life that's what makes them who thay are in the end it is up to you what you decide to do. do you want to go forwards or stay where you are
you need to think long and hard what you want i hope this helps

You don't really offer enough information for me to give a real answer. No one takes dreams from another person. Only you can give those up. Are you being logical or just rationalizing selfish behavior?

Go for it. You may be a big star someday. If you make a lot of money you can have your mom taken care of.
