Hang in there OP! Sorry to hear that. Project work is secondary take care of family first. Just have a candid conversation with coach and if your SM or coach are still not helpful happy to connect on DM as well. We have many resources to deal with this situation so stay strong.

That sucks. Let us know what kind of assistance you may need. And be sure to take care of yourself too. You can help your family better when you do. Good luck

There are women abuse shelters. Also recommend calling the cops on ur dad next time and get a stay away order. If he violates the order then the cops put him in jail. Even domestic violence the cops will take him away for the night so he calms down. Your mom and sis could stay at the house while he calms down and sobers up in jail. That will reduce the hotel expense.
Best thing is either he gets help like AA or your mom gets a divorce.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role.

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
