Im really sad & upset that it sounds like my boyfriend is leaning more towards moving back home to his mom's house. I had no idea he was paying $1900 for rent for a 1 bedroom apartment. I have worked in nothing but toxic jobs for the past 6 years & was hoping to have found a less toxic job by now, but it still hasnt happened yet, plus my job does not pay enough so that I can move to an affordable apartment. Otherwise, I could have found an apartment to move to by now. Im so sad & disappointed

He said last night, "i know im an inconvenience to you & im sure u will be happy to get away from me and have your own place." He's referring to all of the times i said i get frustrated with how he is to live with and how ive talked about relocating out of state. I said to him "we're going into our 7th year of this relationship & u still have not given me any indicators of what the end result should be with this relationship." He didnt have alot to say to that smh. He plays video games almost all day, all weekend long. Its like he is in a relationship with his video games most of the time.   I talked to a counselor & he said "it looks and sounds like he doesnt want to be in a relationship." That was really hard to hear. 


This puts me in a really tough situation in regard to my housing situation. At thos point, I have to consider an extended stay hotel or an Airb&b. The 1 Airb&b that was affordable in a great location is no longer available, so i am hoping a better option becomes available within the next month because the lease is up in January. Everything else is either shared or 2 expensive. Moving back home to my parents' house is not an option because it is toxic, miserable, i have no freedom because my parents always made me tell them when i was going out, my older siblings were always nasty to me, & i got no support from my father or siblings when i was going thru hell at work. I was so depressed.


 Until I get a job offer for a job that is going to be more stable, more supportive, more professional with MORE MONEY, I don't feel comfortable signing a lease and being stuck for 12 months. Where I work at is not sustainable and stable long term. I work someplace where there is no support staff, toxic behavior by my supervisor is allowed by my director where she is constantly allowed to makeup excuses & skip events & meetings for work & makeup excuses such as, her teeth needing to be pulled and never saying anything else about it, them locking their keys in their trunk prior to a 4 hour meeting, having a "fever" before an event, making plans on the same day as a work event, "forgetting" they took PTO & that they had family in town so they could not attend the event, etc). I have anxiety that I take medication for & have a legal disability, so wtf is her excuse? I always feel like im working alone & never know when my supervisor is online.

She prioritizes having a social life over work because she backs out of events to do social things like entertain family in town while me & my Director work at an event by ourselves without her help, is ALWAYS late to our meetings & reschedules at the last minute, & when i let her know im feeling overwhelmed, all she said recently to me was "i understand how overwhelming sometimes it can be but u must create boundaries with the clients" & reiterated to me the protocol when dealing with clients. Also, she has been out on leave after her sister passed since 10/14, was supposed to be back on 10/23, but extended her leave TWICE while i handle the workload of 3-4 ppl BY MYSELF. 


I just got a Leave of absence note from my naturopathic doctor where she stated that "Due to a significant amount of stress related to her employment, she is experiencing adverse effects on her physical and mental health & that she recommends I take a leave of absence." It was either this or resign. My health is at stake at this point.

😭 sad

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.

So I just moved states. I’m staying with a parent for a while in a pretty large house and my cat keeps hiding for hours on end (I think to snooze). Any thoughts?

I admit it’s giving me horrible anxiety that she won’t respond at all until I locate her because even I’m learning where things are and want her to be safe. This is the third time 😭
