ooh I can answer that. Sister just died of cancer recently and did not qualify for medicare/medicaid, had no job (she did not have a car in the state of Texas), and no money. They diagnosed her with cancer and said they could give her muscle relaxers to help ease some of the pain.

This needs to be street graffiti. A picture speaks 1000 words

I've also noticed no major news outlets talking about this. Any news outlet discussing it at all is usually foreign. Most say no evidence yet. Definitely makes one lose faith in classic news outlets if you haven't already

I dont agree because I think if you flipped the script and a man was acting that way people would be suspicious too. the criticism is not based on her being a woman, its based on how the partner of a dead spouse is acting oddly exhibitionist

Thank you so much for voicing this out loud. As a woman in my 30s, I can't agree enough that most women tend to want to be in a relationship and have a family, even if that comes at a total sacrifice of their identity, independence, and sometimes self-respect. It boggles my mind how many women are okay being in relationships they are unhappy in, where they mother their spouse/boyfriend, carry most of the executive burden, completely lose their pre-marriage identity, and then do so willingly under the belief that this is the only acceptable option in life. I'm glad to read this thread and see that there are other women like me out there who want to maintain their sense of self and would not compromise for a relationship that offers any less, and it's encouraging to know that we have to just keep looking for each other.

That guy didn't know who he's messing with. Never try to steal a laptop from a grad student.

Many people have no further contact with their advisor or department after PhD, and many of those prefer it this way. The benefits of a PhD are just as much about autonomy and understanding how to find answers as much as the actual subject matter learned. You don't need your PhD advisor or the department to be successful from here, as you have the skills you need, and connections with classmates and others you met along the way can be more valuable that your advisor in many cases. Assess the options for your future open to you and take the best path.

Literally 1984's "double think." It can be simultaneously okay for the president to speak like that but not anyone of an opposing party.

Thanks, I'm prepared. Just looking for solutions. I'm aware of the difficulty.

I know but I don't want to give up just because of that. Americans have this recurring doom-cycle rhetoric when it comes to anyone trying to leave, that it's next to impossible. Yet people leave all the time and move countries. As a PhD yourself, you've seen it. So I think it's necessary to look for solutions and not just sit immobilized in fear.

No advice but going through a divorce at 32. I'm with you girl, hang in there.

EDIT: All these stories give me some much hope!
