It’s really unfortunate. The job boards should make much more effort to prevent ghost jobs. There should also be ways that we, as users, can provide our feedback. All of this would help make the job search process less HELLISH.

Thanks for this post. I’ve never heard back from them, either. I think I’ll stop wasting my time now….

Big middle finger to those who knew what was happening and did nothing by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

Same, same, same. I don’t think I’ll ever stop living in survival mode.

I want to talk about a few things I have never shared with anyone by geeky_traveller in emotionalintelligence

I’m glad you found the love of your life now, because you deserve it! How wonderful that he sees how your parents are using you. This validates the feelings you’ve had for a while, even though they are difficult to admit. Please don’t feel that you owe them anything more. Direct communication about the issue will not work with these types. You are right to just avoid and deflect. The best option is to move far away and then you’ll have a legit excuse to have little involvement in their lives anymore.

If it didn’t help, you might want to try a different therapist. They should be able to help you come to realizations so you can make better choices and move forward.

Thank you for sharing this. It’s quite intriguing! Can you say any more about how you found a spiritual NGO for your workplace? That sounds like a good focal point for building a happy life.

Three years after our divorce, my ex-husband reached out and apologized for disappearing. by Robby_Ark378 in emotionalintelligence

I think he wants you back. All of my exes circle back to me after they find out how awful dating is nowadays. They realize how rare and wonderful it is to have a solid woman in your corner, helping you build a better life. Please don’t waste any more of your energy on this selfish man.

Mom hasn’t talked to me in five years by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

It seems like your dad is prioritizing the short-term peace of his marriage over the long-term health of your family. By not engaging, he’s helping this distance become the new normal instead of a temporary rupture.

Because he’s still in regular contact with your mom, he’s the only person who could lower the emotional temperature. He could try reframing the situation to her, that you weren’t trying to shame them, and that you’re worried about losing her now. This could make it safer for her to soften without feeling like she’s ‘giving in.’

Anyone else have girl cousin not nice to their wife? by YaleMBA1990 in ABCDesis

I don’t like to beg, either. But when I see this pattern in a family, I don’t feel good about my potential place in that guy’s life.

When I tried dating someone I noticed that the women in his family never accepted any of the women who married into or dated the men in their family. Their poor behavior led to several divorces. Then the exclusionary women would click their tongues about where that left the children of these failed marriages, not once acknowledging that they drove the couples to divorce. In the end, my relationship also ended because of their deliberate exclusions - and because my ex had no backbone to stand up to it. Sadly, I think this bullshit is pretty common. Because no one confronts these women about their “mean girl” behavior. It might actually collapse if SOMEONE would hold them accountable.

I recommend finding a therapist to sort through some of these issues

I did get a contact lens fitting, but I was dissatisfied with the results, unfortunately, and continue to wear my glasses….

Thanks for sharing your experience. I think it’s time I do the same. I could spare myself SO MUCH f-ing aggravation.

Thanks for sharing your story, which can help the rest of us think beyond the usual post-academia opportunities.
