Family problems

My girlfriend and my baby on the way

It's was my first day after training and I got a comment card. But on August 3rd, I quit because they cut my hours and tried having me put work before my family.

For years I have argued against the importance of work/life balance believing it could be managed effectively, if one tried. The realization of how wrong I was hit me square in the face when my company completed its integration with our parent company. It was announced that I would be promoted and reporting to our corporate headquarters, over 55 miles away. With the traffic in the Los Angeles area, I calculated that I would be spending 4-6 hours commuting to and from work, each day. This would effectively eliminate any quality time with my children and not something I was willing to sacrifice for this position. I am saddened to leave this quality company but there are somethings that are simply not worth sacrificing.

My first priority is taking care of my family.

Need better job mother of nine youngest daughter is a down syndrome patient.She needs a lot of therapy and things to maintain life.just want better life for my family

I'm in a bind. I was just terminated from a job I truly enjoyed. I was a mileu counselor for a Mental Health & Behavioral facility. I took this job 3 months ago for better pay & not so dangerous, leaving another facility that I worked for about 1.5 years. I was let go because of a case that my daughter & grandson were involved in when they lived with us. I went to school for this line of work & received my Bachelor's degree. I can't appeal the decision because the case was so long ago & can no longer get it expunged. No one told me what would happen so now I'm stuck. I have to start over & I'm 57 & also have bills piling up. My husband is on disability & can't work. I was in a car accident that wasn't my fault, & the woman that hit us had no insurance. I'm still paying off those bills. I'm also becoming really depressed. Suggestions???

Hello the last place i was employed was a great experience. Because i was my own business i work with many Schools and other nonprofits ..We were great partners help our young students reach their goal stay focus and never give up on their education and dreams of becoming successful in life....also a signing mentors to each youth that had know support systems....The hardest part of my last position was something having to pick up the ball and keep going ...when people do things to tear me down out of jealousy...In 2012 I almost gave up due to the death of my husband with skin cancer, father with lung cancer, brother with colon cancer sister with breast cancer and my sons mother brain cancer...I took care of my brother and sister and husband it was the worse time in my life. I lived in Seattle Washington at that time and move to Virginia after the death of my family...I had no friends or family here in Virginia...I learn how to heal by praying and resting and taking time to heal...Many days were sad and so many tears..I can say i am stronger than ever and there is nothing i can't overcome with faith and hope that the sun will shine again ...I found my smile again and peace in my heart that my family are in a bette place and I can let them live through me.

I've been unemployed for over a year now, took time off to take care of an Aunt, who has now passed away, do some Volunteering. Now looking for a job after 5 months of looking, nothing, I'm going to have a Birthday on Friday and feel that I don't fit in the world we live in. I've been on interview after interview, and have been to 5 different agencies to help me find a job and nothing. This world is so cruel. I'm so frustrated of trying to find something and nothing. How does one servive? I have my husband who is going to apply for ss, but that is not enough for us to live on. i ask for your guidance if you have any?

If you followed me you have heard my story. I started out a nursing student married a man. I already had one child 3. A lil ballerina. I cleaned him up my father made him a desiel mechanic he was made up to 20 dollars an he. We married he a abandon me and my two children one he raised from age of four and one biological his. He married me in 2009 he married the outside woman with five kids in 2014. I never knew. They created an alias name and used my name to refinance her house and get vehicles. I'm just learning of these situations. As well as my 14 year old having cyst in her left breast and ovaries. I'm not ashamed to share this because some one else may be going through worse. I'm now finding out a wife can't sue her husband he abandon us seven years ago after his son molested our biological daughter. I pray every day to stay strong. District Attorney refuses to prosecute him for bigamy. So he is married to me and a woman that has served 12 years in prison. All I have is to encourage others. Because encouragement did lil for me and my two girls but I do know God has not forsaken us. You never know what a person is going thru. I'm testing and I get calls about this foolishness. But I know God is still in charge. Please pray for me..
