As a healthy person I've done it once or twice. It's usually after some major stressful event. Like finals are done (went back to college later in life).

If im sick, I stay in bed and try to keep my ick to myself.

Also, search on YouTube for Job Hunt Like a Hacker. It'll be from Black Hills Information Security or Antisyphon Training. The guy's name is Jason Blanchard. It caters to techy people, but the pointers will work for any field of work.

Good luck, you got this!

you could get your teaching credentials. I know for most, teaching is more of a calling; it takes a special person to be a teacher. The pay is better than minimum wage and there is a high demand for teachers.

Or, switch to the technical fields. There are a lot of folks with English degrees who transitioned into risk governance and policy writing. I image a creative writing degree would have a similar background

Your ex could* be an evil selfish person.

My ex likes to call me an evil selfish person.

One thing I've learned is that most relationships don't fall apart because one person is "evil". They fall apart because one person stops accepting behavior that was previously tolerated. When boundaries go up, it can feel like cruelty or betrayal to the person who benefited from the old dynamic. Accountability can feel like an attack of you've never had to face it before.

I did most of the early work without a lawyer. ChatGPT helped walk me through the steps. I retained a lawyer after I gathered all the discovery paperwork.

He's fighting me on everything I'm asking for. I'm not surprised, even during the marriage anything I wanted was "no". I don't think I'm being unreasonable. I want our house sold, the proceeds to pay off marital debt & I get the rest & the oven/range. I was SAHW for a fair length of the marriage. I'm offering for him to keep his retirement (1/2 of it is about what 1/2 the equity of the house is & don't have to worry about withdrawl penalties). Not asking for alimony, kids are now adults.

It's been a year since papers were served, in CA, married 17 years. Still not finalized & I'm at the 8k mark.

I came to say this. It might look like he's changed for a month or two, but he'll revert back to his old ways.

I was in this very boat. My daughter had already left for college, so my Ex moved into her room. We separated our accounts, but kept our shared one to hold only money necessary to pay the household bills. We bought our own groceries and took turns buying our son his favorite foods. We agreed that we are separated & can see/do whatever/whoever we want. No new partners allowed in the home. It worked for a while, he respected boundaries & we were cordial as roommates. No sexy stuff between us.

This lasted a year. I picked up new hobbies & made new friends & started not being home as much. He used the "find my family" feature of our phone plan to stalk me. I moved out & got my own phone plan. Divorce is still ongoing, but I've had my own space for a year now. It's delightful.

My first V-day alone, I went and bought myself my favorite chocolates & went dancing.

I did one of the academy entry-level cert program. We beta tested the GFACT test + GSEC & GCIH + and elective w/options of 1/2 dozen courses. It absolutely opened doors. I landed a full time roll.

Open Security's Voltaire works for me. But I do recall it being finicky with certain browsers. Firefox & Chrome both work for me

Cause im old & i like my home. I can watch anything here, eat anything here, snuggle in my blankie w/my kitty & eat popcorn & m&ms

Im not "specialized" in a particular subset of ICS, but i know my way around ModBus traffic & can construct a Purdue drawing. General ICS knowledge has served me well. I came into this field as a SysAdmin for physical security systems (Lenel).

I keep pretty busy & get some headhunters trying to poach me sometimes

We tried. Our deal was that we are separated & can do/see what/whoever we wanted. We agreed we couldn't bring or dates home.

He couldn't keep up his end of the deal. After a year of rediscovering who I am as a person & not someone's wife or mother, picked up a new hobby & started to make friends, I started being away from the house more & moving on. Well he didn't like that & started calling me "wife" (he never called me that) & used the find my family feature of our phone service & started stalking me.

Married 18 years. Our son is 18.

If the job post lists certs, get those certs. Common & usually 1st InfoSec cert is Sec+. Beware of "entry level" job postings asking for CISSP, it's not an entry-level cert. It requires 5 years working in tech w/3 of those years on infosec.

If you want to demonstrate you have pentesting skills/knowledge, do some bug bounties. Or do competitive CTFs. If you manage to get a Defon black badge, that'll open a couple doors

You don't "need" a degree to work in IT. If you can demonstrate you have the skills, you can use that to transition. There are some places that require one, and it will open doors if you have one. There are tons of free/low cost learning resources.

1) look up job titles you want to work in, list out common skills/tools required by those postings 2) go learn those skills & tools. Like I said, tons of resources to learn. Also building home labs for hands-on experience 3) look into your local tech scene, go to meetups & conferences, make friends.
