Hi everyone. I'm having so much trouble with work. I'm a nurse assistant. Every day I dread going there. It's never mattered what job I was doing. It always gets more difficult the longer I've been there, never easier. I even arranged my schedule to use my days off for specific self care...

Hi everyone. So here's what's been going on now. My wife has found a support forum she likes, and gets along with. I wanted her to do this so her moods wouldn't be directed all on me. She even has a friend she's been talking to a lot that lives in Australia (for reference I live in eastern...

It's more of a nursing home . My injury didn't really occur at work (though it probably contributed indirectly), and I'm not sure they have much admin in general. Plus I've only been there 4 1/2 months , not sure they know me well enough for that kinda thing. What I want to do is teach guitar...

I'll take a look at that , thank you . I have sciatica. I got seen for it on monday, and my doctor gave me a note to return Thursday . But the note also gave me a restriction on lifting when I do return, and my work called me and said they can't take me back with restrictions. So I have...

I don't have issues with the dark, or being alone. Maybe I'll look at that. Also nurse assisting has been taking a toll on my body faster than I thought. Had to call out today cause if my hip. I always feel guilty calling out even if I have a good reason. Any way thanks for the suggestions...

Hello, Does anybody know of a possible type of job that has evening hours, isn't overly physical (but could be somewhat physical) and keeps social triggers to a minimum (I know there will always be some triggers I'm just looking for an improvement on my current situation). To give a basis for...

I know in a divorce situation my wife would want to stay out of court cause of a bad experience on court with her first divorce. Her ex was almost any kind of abusive you could think of. Still most of my family and friends live in a different state. Not that far away but still in a different...

I definitely agree with the projection. And that it's too soon to be calling anything difinitively . I also agree that it will be easier to focus on, and help my son if I leave. Thanks for the support everyone.

Hello everyone, So there's been an ongoing saga I've been posting about on this site regarding my emotionally abusive wife, and everyone has been very supportive. Last week at my son's 18 month check up, some questions were raised about his communication skills not developing the way they...

I'm not worried she's doing anything dangerous. I just know a lot of energy goes into keeping my stepdaughter calm, and a lot of what my wife calls whining, I see as normal 18 month old talking. My wife is just a lot more sensitive to it cause she's hypervigilant about my stepdaughter. It's...

She started to get at therapist through this website, then said It wasn't helping. However, from what she says, what she has been talking about on the site is largely trauma based. I really don't know what she does with my son while I'm at work. My stepdaughter is a handful to say the least...

So a number of people on this site have been very supportive regarding my wife being abusive. Things have taken an interesting turn, in a good way, and I don't know whether to trust it. Up till now she's refused to talk to, or seek support from anyone else aside from me. Lately she's been...

Yep...

I hate to say it but sometimes I'm getting to the point of saying: What's the point in trying anymore. Trying to make things better anymore that is. Everything takes so much out of me. I always think I'm doing the wrong things with my son, I always want to call out of work, anything I do for...

No one at work I'm that close to yet, I've only been there 2 1/2 months, and the turnover rate is kinda high. I do have supportive people at a community chorus I'm a member of, but half the time I feel to guilty to go cause it leaves my wife home with my stepdaughter, and the baby . The...

Hello. So... I don't even really know what to do anymore. For about a week my wife was getting support from an app/website called 7 cups, where you have access to peer listeners, and can pay for online therapy. In that time it seemed like we were having some good conversations, and things...

After work when I get home around 11:30 or 12 it seems so obvious that I should leave her, like right now, just run for my life. I don't know what happens in my brain between now and morning. I got home tonight and she woke up just long enough to tell me that it's all her trying to re-trace...

Aside from the anxiety I feel that make me want to re-assure her that I love her (when I don't really), the only thing that conflicts me now is my son. I can commute to my new job from wherever I go next. I'm literally surrounded by in-laws, downstairs, and next door on both sides. My closest...

Hi everyone. I don't know that I have much to say about my so-called relationship that I haven't before, I'm just lonely I guess. She was in a good mood and poured a little cold water on me as a "joke" and I apparently made some kind of face. Said she was feeling good and trying to share...

Thank you, I appreciate that

I'll look into that one. Thanks

Yeah... I know

I have a 15 month old, and I get intense anxiety that I am not parenting well. I've had general anxiety and ptsd for years, and now I'm constantly anxious that I have the TV on too much, or that I should be introducing solid foods more quickly, or just that I'm being a terrible parent in...

I'll do what i can. The other thing about the kids is that my stepdaughter is on the autism spectrum, and especially as of late, she has been acting out very aggressively. She needs to be on meds, and my wife has reluctantly resigned herself to that now. She has an appointment at a behavioral...

I feel like I'm starting to lose my grip on my self. I'm believing my wife more and more when she makes her jokes, or blames me, or suggests in whatever way that I am a bad guy, and she is always a victim of something. Starting to believe more and more that I don't deserve good things, don't...
