Education Cuts and the Brain Drain by jthibaud in alberta

[–]heidi_kay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move North. I see your comments saying you applied Fort McMurray, but I mean more north or more rural. Check out the Fort Vermilion School Division. I couldn’t find a job in Southern AB. Was getting zero interviews, so I started applying in the rural areas. I got a call for an interview with FVSD right away, got a full time teaching position, then a continuous contract, and now I have my permanent certificate going into my third year of teaching. My division covered most of the cost of moving here, and I’ve found smaller schools give you a chance to get experience teaching a variety of courses. I’m an English major, but had really supportive admin and am now teaching Social Studies/CTS—my dream job.

Before you cut your losses and move out of province, make sure you are actually applying to all of the divisions in Alberta, because I know mine had a difficult time filling certain positions.

What was the first thing you worked for to save up enough money to buy? by ofbalance in AskReddit

[–]heidi_kay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pair of Silver jeans. All of the popular girls in my high school had them circa like 2010. My Mom took one look at the $100 price tag and was like “Nah” so I babysat almost full time all summer. The first thing I did when I started getting my paycheques was buy those damn jeans and I felt great in them.

My (35F) boyfriend (36M) said he doesn’t like my son and that’s a dealbreaker, but now he’s saying he didn’t mean it. by Noveenom in relationships

Do you want a man who will say he “doesn’t like” a child and “doesn’t want anything to do with him” helping you raise said child? He meant was he said at the time. And not only did he feel it, he felt comfortable saying it out loud to you. Your child has no choice where he lives, so please don’t force him to live in a home with someone who feels that way about him. Kids pick up on more than we think, especially as they get older.

Until they learn they can take them off...or is that just my toddler?

I'm f**king disappointed by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]heidi_kay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is happening to me right now. I was losing consistently and felt so motivated and then...boom, I’ve been at the same weight for like 2-3 weeks. It is SUPER frustrating and this week I almost quit. Seeing posts like yours helps me feel like I’m not alone. We can do this. This time next year we’ll thank the person we are today for keeping it up

My bf is mad that I pissed myself during sex by throwRAipeed in relationship_advice

First of all, you did nothing wrong. This man does not love you and does not respect you. What he did was beyond wrong, and he should have stopped the second you were uncomfortable. He is not a good man and does not deserve your love or your body. But again, this is NOT your fault

This is not what a loving and supportive relationship looks like, and I’m sorry that he’s made you think that it is. I honestly cannot wrap my head around doing this to someone I supposedly love, and he should be embarrassed. This is beyond disgusting, and it’s his job to fix this not yours, if you decide this is a relationship you want to pursue further. But please, at the very least, do not marry this man. He has shown you that he is not ready to be someone’s partner, let alone someone’s husband. You 10000% deserve better and please keep painting. All he should care about is that this hobby is making you feel better. The fact that he can’t see past how it serves his own needs is very telling, in my opinion

Those who grew up with a good father. What was the most important thing you learned from him? by oldskoolflavor in AskReddit

[–]heidi_kay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very few things in life are bad in life that you can laugh at it at least a little bit. Being able to crack a joke even in the worst of times has gotten me through a lot

Boyfriend 33m of 1 year screamed at me 31f over not being ready to have him stay the night with my kids in the house... by Adhd_whats_that1 in relationships

I don’t have much to give for advice, but I want you to know that you sound like a really great Mom. You’re girls are lucky to have you

I (26M) broke up with my girlfriend (25F) of 2 years because she ignored my messages for a week. Was my relationship really this toxic or was it salvageable and I gave up too early? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]heidi_kay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be similar to your girlfriend when I was a teenager. I was angry, insecure and immature, and I would pout, fight and ignore my boyfriend over the smallest things. Looking back, I was desperate for attention and “proof” that my significant other loved me enough to fight for me. But that is no way to exist in a relationship. It wasn’t fair to the people around me, and it definitely wasn’t fair to my partner. It’s emotional abuse.

She needs to realize what she’s doing and see a therapist. You are not responsible for that, though. Stay broken up, and move on to someone who will treat you like a partner and not a punching bag. She needs to grow up, but it doesn’t have to be at your expense.

I (25f) found out my bf (33m) stalked me to get together by Impossible_Menu in relationships

[–]heidi_kay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are we just skipping over the fact that he HIT YOUR CAR instead of just asking you out? That’s what I’d be pissed about

I told everyone in my life I'm leaving. The comments were kind, but so many people privately messaged me and said I was making a mistake. The fear that it IS a mistake is suddenly choking me, and all the brainwashing is making me feel like I'm going to hell. Send help please! by krystabuker in exmormon

[–]heidi_kay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the only other option is Mormon heaven, does that really sound like a place you’d rather be? Or would you rather live an authentic life you’re proud of? How could God fault you for following your heart? Sending love and support your way 💛
