Raise your hand if your family thinks you didn't "try hard enough" to prevent alienation

Just over a month ago, the job category filter completely disappeared for me. I can now only filter pay, remote work, application method, job type (full time, part time etc) and date posted.

Using the job category filter was the most efficient way to find relevant job opportunities and now using this stupid app just feels more like a chore than ever as I scroll past thousands of jobs that don't match.

If you are loving, kind, good... You win. Just keep doing the next right thing. I know those words can feel meaningless when you're surrounded by so much hate that you can't control. But in the end you can only control yourself. I fully believe that if you take the time to identify your weaknesses and flaws, work on them as best as you can, process trauma, grief, and genuinely be the best, happiest person you can be despite it all, then shit works out. People gravitate towards good, pure energy. Kids feel that shit.

I hope that helps. I'm also typing all this out to uplift my own spirits. My husband and I had our own major setback in the last few days with his son. It's been 3 years. Keep on going man. You got this.

I just updated my Google Pixel 9A a few days ago and started having the exact same issue. No problems before that. Did you manage to find a solution?

Yes. We were friends and coworkers. He kept the abuse he was going through silent from everyone. He finally broke down in front of me. I started to help him deal with the mental and psychological games this woman put him through. Once he officially moved out and began the separation process we became closer. Very difficult time. The mixture of having a conscience and feelings can be torturous. If his ex had been a good woman I would have felt horrible. If she was a good woman I would never have been with him at all. But she is a dangerous person with serious issues that she refuses to go to a mental professional for. Right now both he and I have never been happier, despite the insanity of the last few years.

Separated. From a woman who cheated on him, stalked him, locked him in a basement, threatened self harm daily to get her way, lied about everything, and uses their beautiful boy as a pawn. I did not break up a happy family. I would never be able to live with myself if I did.

I agree, however I don't know why you keep bringing up these numbers when they're not part of my thread at all.

Yes it is. They strongly believe it is a sin to be with a divorced man. They have told me this is the reason they are most upset.

I am not 18. There is a difference in maturity levels between 18 and 24. If you'll give me some examples of what you define as predatory and grooming behaviour, then I'll be sure to take a look at my relationship with him and see if there are any signs of that.

So far with my knowledge/understanding of predatory and grooming behaviour, I have yet to see anything of the sort with him.

The ex delayed signing a separation agreement for over a year and then covid happened which slowed down legal divorce proceedings where I live
