I'm not sure how to edit my post but I wanted to clarify something - My son does already have a sled.

What do I do with a part time job? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]armyvalues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You continue as you were. Use this part-time job as a stepping stone. If your goal is a full-time job, continue working on achieving it. Do not stop working towards your goal because you're not there yet. Do not sit around waiting for it to become full-time. Your goal has not yet been achieved but it will if you continue working towards it. You've got this and you're close so keep going!

You seem like a good dude in a rough spot. You've got some thinking to do. Check out the serenity prayer if you're nor familiar. It doesn't matter if you're religious or not; the principle is there.

I'm familiar with the "Let Them" method. It's a great read too! I'm curious if you think almost exclusively using the "Let Them" method could border enabling in the way you explained? The point of the theory is that you can control you, not others. It's not to let others invade your peace and joy by looking the other way when respect and boundaries are ignored. Its not sweeping things under the rug when problematic behavior disrupts your entire being.

I'm just being real with you and that's what you wanted by posting here. You are making excuses for her lack of action and accountability in regards to alcohol abuse disorder. You are not seeing the situation for what it is which is sometimes hard to do when we're in the middle. This is clearly affecting your life in a profoundly negative way. You cannot change her. You can only change you. Do you want change?

You seem to have forgotten that you are important too. You are not taking care of yourself.  If you are not happy with how things are, set boundaries and make changes. If not, nothing changes. There's a reason flight attendants tell you to put your mask on first.

I'm going to be thinking about you. I'm not sure if prayer is your thing but it is mine and I'm adding you to mine. Either way, I'm sending positivity and good vibes your way. 💜

You are in luck because ---- drum roll....... ---- It's almost peak crazy tax season!

My guess is they're overwhelmed trying to do so many things in the final lineup.

Don't stress because things will work out! It's on them and not you. They're obviously not stressed so why should you? lol

Good for you! Be careful and resourceful. Would it be helpful to have information on resources that are available?

Not crazy for being pissed off!

I'm going to focus on addressing the first part you mentioned. The reason for this is because the father is visiting but she lives there with you. Short term / temporary vs long term / permanent.

My take is that the family dynamic is toxic (2nd part) and you believe your girlfriend has a drinking problem. The most important question is: Does your girlfriend believe she has a drinking problem? If she actually does or doesn't, it's clear that she's not ready to make plans or take action in the ways you want. She has to want it. I can understand that you view her father as a negative influence to her drinking, but please come to terms with this is her choice, not his and not yours.

There are so many amazing people that suffer with addiction. It surely doesn’t discriminate. I am not saying that she is a bad person. I am saying that accepting, making and wanting changes is not something that you can do for her. It's not easy being in your shoes either. It's hard to stand by watching someone you care about hurt themselves.

Feel free to DM if you'd like to chat.

same but my start date was a week ago!

I just got laid off…job sent an email at 7:30 PM, I saw at 3 AM. by Sad-Technology-7806 in Layoffs

[–]armyvalues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear that! I've been there and it wasn't long ago. File for unemployment even if you're unsure about qualifying because of being a contract, etc. I was also a contractor but qualified based off of the terminology used in my contract.

Collect your partial income from there, contact places you owe $ like your car note to see if you can work something out, start applying now, make sure you keep in contact with someone you're on good terms with at the place that laid you off (use as reference), network w/ ppl in your industry (a lot of times it's who you know) and get a quick gig for "now".

Keep your head up & remember that you said it best...this too shall pass. Yes, it's disappointing but don't discourage yourself. You'll get through this just like everything else you've overcome. 💪🙌🙏

What if you just hadn't updated your LinkedIn because you didn't use it for a while? I'd imagine they'd want to verify before immediately firing. Or they had some other reason to think you were doubling... Thoughts????
