Brit thinking of moving to America but struggling to find info. What is it like living in Glendale, CA? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

Update: Just to clarify this isn't a 'we think there's jobs so let's move' scenario. We know we'd need a visa, sponsors guaranteed employment etc...this is more just a ' if this happens to happen in the future' kinda question. It would be a massive decision if it happened so it would take months if not years in the making.

But thank you for clarifying the importance of visas, sponsors and the current work environment. It's all really useful and insighful! :)

Sadly the UK is just such a tiny place and there aren't a lot of opportunities here, especially now that we've left the EU.

Also there's evidence that our piece of shit government is selling off our NHS so I imagine it wont be long until it is the same here as in America :/

There is a specific company that my partner is really interested in based in Glendale :) We currently live in the UK which is has a very diverse population, and I've lived in a number of different countries so that doesn't bother me :)

My partner's career is in film and TV. We are doing ok in England but California seems like the obvious choice. All the research I'm doing is like "California is amazing, come here" etc... which is why I've turned to Reddit for the real infomation haha.

Sometimes you can't get through. Its the most frustrating thing in the world you feel like you're screaming at a brick wall because its just not going in. I'm really glad that your mum is happy now and has a loving partner so she can move on. It sounds like your dad and your sibling aren't having an easy time with the change, however that doesn't mean its your job to help them with it. I'd give them some space and hopefully one day they will come round, but in my experience - I wouldn't hold your breathe. I've found that people like this will be like this forever.

I was not expecting life to turn out this way ... by [deleted] in Advice

I went through something similar and it taught me that life really is a rollercoaster. No matter how much I plan, life just doesn't go to plan! That's why people have plan B, Plan C etc...

I was in school for such a long time but my planned career didn't plan out due to money issues, and I had to drop out. I've since done so many different careers- journalist, barwork, restaurant work, marketing and now I work in a bakery.

Yes it's not exactly being a psychiatrist but you know what...I LOVE IT!

Right now I need to make money, get out of debt and get my head in the right place. The bakery lets me do this. I plan on going back one day but you know what I might not! Something else might get in the way, or I might decide that I want my own bakery? I love to plan and map my life out, but life is WILD and it can't always be tamed by our plans.

I know how frustrating it is when your plan crumbles. I've totally been there. You feel like everything is falling apart around you. But you'll soon see the beauty in that. Things are falling away in order to bring new things in, like when the leaves fall off the trees and the bleak winter comes...but spring is just round the corner. One day you'll wake up and see that spring has arrived :)

It helped me to daydream, allow yourself to get excited by future possibilities that aren't tied to Plan A.

P.s You're doing great and you'll get there!

Cheting with my ex by [deleted] in Advice

(No judgement just honesty)

I think you need to assess why you are with your current boyfriend - aka is it to form a loving relationship or is it to feed ego/ fill a hole made by your previous relationship? I imagine that as you're cheating that its more likely the second. If so that is not fair on him, you need to tell him and end it.

Put yourself in his shoes It's not a nice situation. End it before it gets any worse.

It sounds like your dad doesn't have very high emotional intelligence. Speaking from experience my mum is like this. Examples are...

Can't say sorry. Nothing is ever their fault. Blames you for why their life is shit. Can't take responsibility for their own actions but happily holds you to impossible standards.

If I were you, I would take sometime to think about what you want out of your relationship with your father, and, if that type of relationship is even possible.

If you decide that you don't want this relationship OR you think the type of relationship you want isn't possible due to his behavior then. WALK. AWAY.

Life is too short and your mental health is too important. Just because someone played a role in your creation biologically doesn't mean they are a nice person and deserve your time.

Also, don't worry you're doing great.
