So they want me to go to work for the company my #2 sis works.

1) I feel/now they are pushing it. #1 Sis says it is my only chance at real work! (I am a College Grad and she is telling me point blank I am only qualified for that )

2) Sis #2 works for them. I really don't like that set up.

3) they are pushing for me to go to some over used creadit for everyone used car place a get a expencive car. I have been told I would need it to work for this place because I would have to use it to go get stuff from other stores. Something else that makes iffy about this.


Why won't they stop and let me get things done my way. I have already got several applications out, got SNAP stuff done, and got stuff going to see about Section 8 housing. But they keep telling me I have to stay with them. That I just can't do it out in the world alone. I have been!

I think they just want me pined down so they can have extra income!

Might as well take what is there especially if it has a set time schedule which would allow you to have the ability to look for something else.

Stating that, might I interest you in a business opportunity?
I kid around.

I have put in at places that have stated they are looking for help. I have 33 Applications in right now for Permanent and I lost count for the Holiday temp stuff that is now starting to be asked for.

It is just the same old thing that caused us to drift apart in the first place. Getting told my College Degree was a bad idea. And that I am just a woman and need to see that. blah, blah, blah!

Nothing can cure and heal you emotionally like family. On the flip side of that nothing will fuck you up faster than family either. I HATE HATE HATE aggressive, negative, selfish, family dynamics.

Go with your gut Lady Freedom. It sounds like you know there's something fishy about their motives. Listen to that part of yourself. Besides you will feel better about yourself when you land a job by yourself without help.

The only reason I'd take that job is if you really feel desperate financially. And even then I'd only take it as a stop gap measure towards something else.
