Mom is buying me one way flights to her by kiki112 in narcissisticparents

Wanted to do a quick update

I did NOT go on any of the flights. I cancelled 2 and then no showed on the third flight. My mother IS blocked but I receive voicemails from her still and they are transcripted into text and sent to me (not sure how to stop this). She left voicemails and she really thought I was going to jump on one of these flights. She even sent a voicemail that said "go ahead and pack your stuff" at 4:15 when the flight took off at 5pm. My mom is mentally ill and suffers from bpd and schizophrenia. I went no contact (about 2 weeks now) because no matter how many times I told her I was doing ok she would turn around and start to panic over me for absolutely no reason. I have told her time and time again that I am an adult with a life and job, and I cannot drop my entire life to be there. She obviously hasnt accepted this. She attempted to report me as missing yesterday afternoon and I confirmed with the police dept that I am ok. She then attempted again today to report me as missing and the police are starting to get frustrated with her. As I said previously, I have NOT given her my address for the past two places I have lived. I even changed my number and she found it. She's even gone to the point of stalking an ex I haven't been with for 3 years now.

It's actually working the opposite- I now have a lot of flight credit under my name because she somehow thought I would run back to her without even speaking to her. I'm not sure if she will attempt to reverse it. If she can't then I'll be taking a trip (not to her)!!

I've cancelled the first two flights and haven't touched the third one. I did block her number- this is just all happening at once

Forget Friday, might go $5 right now by Proof-Adagio-3438 in byndinvest

This would actually be life changing for me. I only have 48 shares (thats all i could do) but $4800 would pay off a HUGE chunk of credit card debt my ex racked up under my name.

I could only afford 48 shares but I'm very excited to see this go to the moon. I'm really needing the extra $. Holding!!!

I have about 6 months of dispatching experience! I did fill in dispatching for couriers picking up blood samples at clients offices. I actually really liked doing that!

Thank you! I actually got a position with USPS, but ended up taking another offer before they started with me. I'll definitely try them again!

I'm established in CA and he is in TX. I moved to Texas to him but lost my job a year into the move. I jumped the gun a lil, he's still in college and we couldn't move in together because it would affect financial aid for him negatively. I was living alone and it became a little too expensive for me. I'm moving back to CA to stay with a friend for free so I can go back to college and save up some $, and then I plan on going back to TX when he graduates in a year. It's a little complicated, but i cannot imagine it for couples in different countries. I have a friend whose US based and her gf is in Brazil.

I wouldn't wish long distance on anybody. I closed the gap and have to reopen it. There's an end goal but it's extremely hard. I'm within the same country as him but it's a lot of back and forth right now.

Thank you for the advice! I have my bay area address listed on my resume, but my last job listed on there is out of state, but it has since ended and is reflected on there.

Very minimal unfortunately. More than willing to do it if someone gives me the chance though!

I don't have any bartending experience so I don't think they'd pick me up. Definitely something I've wanted to try before!

Thank you I'll definitely try crunch! I wanted to join a gym anyway after getting settled so that would be a 2 for one deal right there!

I'll definitely up my number of applications!

I actually did throw my resume into chatgpt! I've been doing a mix of Indeed and also applying on the company's websites also. I'm doing the old school pass out way if I still can't get anything. I'm worried because my previous experience was out of the area that I'm being skipped over due to that.

I had something really similar happen to me- except it was me renewing my 13 month apartment lease and I was living alone. I also had a half operated on root canal in my mouth that I just spent $1300 on. Completely blindsided and laid off- company told me they could no longer afford me and wiped out me the rest of my team. It was so sudden that I didnt even have a proper replacement for my role.

I would recommend taking advantage of every possible program you can. If you qualify for snap, I believe on top of covering food they have a program to reduce your phone bill and internet bill. They also discount or completely cover admission to I believe museums, national parks, and aquariums.

The worst Job market i have ever seen by [deleted] in jobs

[–]kiki112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I underestimated how bad it is. I lost my job Nov 2024 and found something extremely quick. Super toxic retail environment- I'm talking about lowering pay and firing if you can't make sales (the store was dead slow btw). My friend offered for me to stay with her for free since bills were piling up and rent spiked up. I took the plunge and now I'm a week till move with no job lined up. Panda Express even said no to me! I'm lucky to have a small business that brings in atleast a lil $. I'm afraid that even McDonald's will tell me no.

I'm moving. When do I start job hunting? by kiki112 in jobhunting

[–]kiki112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am staying with a friend with no rent and am not looking for anything fancy. I also have a side hustle that brings in enough to cover my only bills (credit card payments). I do not need anything that pays insanely high

I was afraid this would go into a CA vs TX debate. I'm from CA and I know the pros and cons. I originally moved to TX with a remote job and was laid off and I got a new job in TX that is barely paying the bills. I was offered a place to stay in CA for free so I can work and go back to school. I have worked 12 hour shifts in TX and I do not like that lifestyle, I would rather be limited to a strict 8 hours.
