It’s a decent sized movement, so you’d have to look into what’s happening in your neck of the woods. Mine is planning a protest outside an ICE detention center this week

MerrySkeptic@sh.itjust.worksto Mental Health@lemmy.world•I have no time for myself as a single momEnglish3·7 days agoExhaustion is totally understandable given your situation. No need to make it worse with guilt. You may not be able to give your son everything you want to, but you are providing for his basic needs and you protected him from growing up in an abusive home. He knows how much his mom loves him.
I don’t have any surefire suggestions when it comes to improving your work situation. That said, I do know that so often candidates are hired because they were referred by someone on the inside, not necessarily because they were the best candidate. If you haven’t already, reach out to the people you know who are in a better situation and see if they have connections to help you with a better job. For that matter, talk to your bosses now about your desire to improve your situation and ask them what it would take to move up. Sometimes just knowing that someone is motivated can help.
You may not have the time or resources for this, but is an Associates degree out of the question? Often times you can sign up for online courses and take them at whatever pace you need to to. You might have a degree in hand by the time your son is 18.
As far as dating, if nothing changes financially then I’m not sure you have the time right now. I’d hold off until your son has graduated HS and is either moved out or financially contributing so that it frees you up a bit timewise.

He’s a narcissist. People don’t get to his level of wealth by having compassion for the feelings of others. No billionaire ever gat there through their own hard work, they did it by taking advantage of the hard work of other people. He literally does not give a fuck. But narcissists aren’t typically born in a vacuum.

Do some research on his upbringing. His father was a narcissist and did all he could to make his son unfettered by compassion for others through constant power games and humiliation. He was raised in South Africa where there was a huge macho culture and it was expected that the strong took advantage of the weak. Elon himself was picked on mercilessly by his classmates, though so he literally had to cope by suppressing his own emotions and not caring about the feelings of most others. I say “most” because the exception would be the fact that he was constantly trying to earn the approval of his father because of his twisted upbringing. Even after his parents divorced when he was 9, he eventually went back to live with his dad despite the constant criticism. In short, Elon learned during his formative years that compassion was a weakness and you can’t just flip a switch to unlearn that.

He does copious amounts of drugs and sleeps with a constant stream of women to hide from any possible problematic feelings that would get in the way of his ambitions

MerrySkeptic@sh.itjust.worksto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?2·1 month agoAsk her to imagine the following: let’s say she ends up being really close to your spouse one day, like she couldn’t have imagined a better pick. The two of them become super close, but as the years go on, for whatever reason, you end up having an affair. Now ask her if she would go no contact with you because maintaining a relationship would condone your actions and ignore your spouse’s suffering.
If she says no, then maybe she could see a bit of where you’re coming from. If she says yes, well then I would wonder if a lack of empathy was part of the reason your dad sought a relationship elsewhere (not that that justifies cheating).

There are cool moments ( ||Luke’s return|| ) but I find the writing to be mediocre.
At least it’s better than the Book of Boba Fett. That show is a disservice to the character of Boba Fett. He’s a remorseless assassin, not a mob boss with a heart of gold.

Just hoping my kid can graduate before this is officially a thing
Idk if this is the worst per se but a good example is Russian Doll.
When I see questions like this I’m not just thinking of shows that had a good first season but then a step down in quality. There are lots of shows like that.
I’m thinking of shows where the first season completely stands on its own, perhaps even intended to be a miniseries, but for whatever reason a second season is greenlit.
Russian Doll had a fantastic first season that told its own story. The second season just felt unnecessary and was pretty forgettable.
