hoping2heal Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Okay so, Yesterday I got a second job. I was over the moon excited, because firstly I live in a smaller town, where our mines have been shut down since January, and on top of it, news has been released things will stay that way until spring of 2010. So, there's a lot of lay off's and a lot of people looking for work, and it's just not a hot time for jobs. Well, I needed this second job to pay off some finances while I'm gone. Mainly, I need to pay off my half of rent for the next 5 months, because even though I will be gone to stay with my partner, my name is on the lease and I don't feel right about just bailing and sticking someone else with my financial responsibility. That someone would be my mother, first she griped on and on about how most likely I wouldn't get a second job, and she would get stuck paying my half of the rent, if I leave etc etc. Now that I've got the job, suddenly it's "I don't think you should be working there" . I'm really at a high point of annoyance. It's bad enough I hear negativity left and right about it as it is, and now just because people can see I'm accomplishing what I said I would, I have to catch static for that too. UGH.

Island Girl Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 My mom does that ALL the time. The truth is she doesn't want me in the relationship that I am in and anything that happens that brings us closer to when we can be reunited, etc. she says negative things about. She'll tell you until she is blue in the face that it doesn't have anything to do with it but it does. Don't worry about her or what she says. Go to that job and realize you only have a limited number of days you have to do this -- in fact, I'd make one of those tickers so you can see what you are accomplishing and you can see that end (the reuniting with HIM) getting closer and closer. Congrats on getting a second job!! From what you describe it'd be hard to find ONE let alone TWO! You should be quite proud of yourself. Link to post Share on other sites

I've done a lot in the past few months.. I quit smoking, I've gotten healthier and have been losing weight, I've done a lot of personal growing in counselling, and faced some demons. Now I got a second job. My passport came today . I love this man so much and I can't wait to shower him with more love and affection. You're so nice to have here, because you're so relatable. You always make me feel better, realising I'm not the only one..and certain things are normal. Link to post Share on other sites

I love this man so much and I can't wait to shower him with more love and affection. My relationship has been the catalyst for so much personally. I know you have worked really hard on yourself. I also know how tough it can be to rearrange things and sort out one's self because of childhood trauma, etc. Having someone who does love you unconditionally(as much as is possible) is remarkable. And not everyone has it. It does give you a previously unknown freedom to really explore who YOU is doesn't it? You're so nice to have here, because you're so relatable. You always make me feel better, realising I'm not the only one..and certain things are normal. Thank you. We have much in common you and I. More than you know I believe. I am glad I could make you feel better. Are you going to do the ticker idea? Because of this post I am going to do one for the copies of my husbands paperwork. Unfortunately it can't be a countdown though. It has to go the opposite way... Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately it can't be a countdown though. It has to go the opposite way... Yeah, I've done a lot. He really is the best person I know. He isn't perfect, he has his faults just like everyone else, but he is beautiful, intelligent, and has a wonderful wonderful heart. No, not everyone does have that. I've never really known that until now and I'm a lucky lucky girl. There are times I just break down crying, because I'm just so inspired by him or so proud of him. I couldn't be more fortunate or more proud to be loved by him. Yeah I think I may like to make a ticker, just as soon as we have a more concrete idea, I know it's going to be relatively within the next 2 months, I got my passport, now I have to apply for my visa and see what happens. It will be soon though! Oh how I love him :love:. Link to post Share on other sites
