Get me out of here!

Post Reply New Topic

I sent out several applications and have heard back nothing. I want to be employed so I can move away as soon as possible. I can't take it here, I'm constantly being persecuted for not being Christian, for not being conservative and for not being a little carbon copy of my mother. Come on phone, ring! Someone hire me, please! I don't care who, as long as they pay above minimum wage. D:

Apparently I'm also a horrible person for believing that same sex marriage should be legalized, that the bible is an outdated text that is only used to discriminate against non-christians. Sorry I don't think I"m a better person just for going to college, I came to the conclusion that Christianity isn't for me and that makes me a horrible daughter who's going to hell. I'm also a failure for not being married yet like she was. She was thin and beautiful at my age, that's the difference. Apart from that she was a complete b***h then I'm sure.

She found a rant a made about her on Facebook and she's really pissed at me. Personally, I don't regret it either. I'm tired of being bullied by her. If only I could drive so I can get away from everything. >.<

I feel ya.

Where do you want to move when you move out? Anywhere as long as it's out of your mother's house? Or to another city/town/state/etc?

Anywhere! Preferably back closer to my friends so...Lancaster area? Basically anywhere that I can afford. Hopefully it works out with one of the interested suitors on OkCupid so I can live with them after dating a year or so since both of them live on their own already. Lucky bastards. >.<

I live an hour or so from Lancaster! I hope it works out with one of these interested suitors too. Sounds intriguing! <-- this little feller looks intriguing and intrigued so I thought I'd throw him in here.

Don't know if I could be of any assistance but I could always help you brainstorm if necessary!

My friend who's wedding I'm in lives in Lancaster. I don't know. I just want to live somewhere with public transportation and job opportunities.

One of the suitors lives in Harrisburg, the other lives in Maryland about an hour away from me, the third lives 6 miles from me and kinda creeps me out. XD

Haha. Hmm, good luck with that one is all I can say!

Would Philadelphia be a good central place for all of these potential options? You wouldn't need a car there, there are lots of job opportunities there (esp. for a college graduate), and you could save up money for a car while you're there.

No, Philly is a far distance from where I live now. It's like 3 hours from my house. I would pretty much need to search for a whole new pool of suitors. >.<

Here's some hints:

1) you are graduating into one of the worst job markets in recent history. No job is beneath you. You do not have to work in your degreed profession. You could even go on SSI if you had to. You could easily search for men in Philadelphia. You shouldn't rule out ANYTHING!

2) Your mom is a crazy Christian. She can't understand why you don't view things her way. Until you get out of there, you need to avoid all arguments with her. Just nod and say yes. You can't afford to be tossed out of your house!

I just don't want to go into retail or fast food. I'd be miserable and not making enough. I don't have enough money to live by myself in a city I don't know. >.<

Can I still get a job if I'm on welfare? Don't companies avoid hiring those that are on welfare?

I'm usually good at avoiding arguments but I really can't with all the time I'm stuck around her because she works from home. D:

Hope you're able to get out of there, my problem with my mom wasn't religious but she had control issues all the same. Had to scrape up every nickel and dime I had in order to move out--for months.

I know. All I've gotten back are scam offers teasing me with employment. I really want to start hearing back from people. If I don't...life is going to get really difficult.

I have an idea on this one. Okay, kind of like a poker player overbetting or underbetting the flop, what might seem like a "mistake" becomes part of the texture and can actually be advantageous later on.

So, first off, if you don't feel like apologizing, certainly don't make an insincere one. Maybe just something generic 'That's what I was feeling at the time' or 'Mom, yes, it has been difficult living here'

And maybe, this might be an occasion to transition from arguments over the content of religion to more bland statements like 'People believe different things,' 'A person should not be pressured to believe a certain way.' that kind of thing

(PS I recommend poker for social skills. I very much do not recommend it as an attempt to make money, primarily because of the inevitable statistical downswings and that being up 300 for the week does not help as much as being down 300 hurts.)

She won't buy it. She'll always come back with her, "you will be judged one day infront of the Lord, whether you believe or not."

yeah, that's difficult, I'll kind of put on my thinking cap.
