Since I was 16 and pregnant, I've had at least one job. I'm so tired of fucking working and having to do what someone else tells me to do so I can get paid less than I feel I am worth. I have so long until retirement. This is all I am, a cog in the middle class rat race. Because I am a control freak who will never depend on anyone else, this is just how it works I guess.
Too many times did I hear "Well, I'll just leave then."
"I'll get you for child support!"
"I'll work under the table!"..probably along with a few choice words like the C word thrown in (my least favorite)...
He never left for long. Except that one summer when child protective services made him. That summer my mother had to apply for welfare. She did not like that.
So no. I will never depend on anyone. I don't have the trust for that. And I can only control myself and what I do. This whole kidult being fired thing only shows me that I should never have thought we could pay more in rent than I could afford on my own. No word on unemployment. It's like he doesn't want to talk about it and then by the time I get home from the drudgery I don't want to talk about it and be angry.
How can I fault him for hating his job when I so feel that right now?
2 more student loan payments, then maybe I can re-evaluate. (My fingers typed stupid loan payments first. Also true)
