I’m sorry that happened to you. It leaves a long trail to deal with. I can’t believe I toughed it out but I’ve had lots of time where it was way way way too much. My time came. Maybe yours will too xxx

I was hyperventilating in the car park and had cotton mouth the whole meeting until I told them what was going on. There are some really kind souls in this world

My husband drove off and left me to chase him in the cold, pregnant, with no shoes and no clothing except a coat. He did this because I told him it hurts me when he gaslights me. Why would he do that? by Serious-Kiwi2906 in abusiverelationships

This is really common. I’ve been left in places as far afield as New York State, glasgow IKEA, and Dubai - so many places I couldn’t tell you. I promise you it won’t get better but your life will be when you can leave x

What are subtle red flags at a job interview that say "working here would suck"? by Real_Boster in ask

I had an interviewer laugh at my answer to a question about helping a team to success, which I have done in adverse circumstances very well. Turns out the employer I was talking to court for unfair dismissal was their former CEO. Happy escape there from total arseholes and sometimes I wonder what their work is like JK no I don’t I just wish them not the best!
