Feeling alone

[Navygal]

I am fairly new to this group but already feel more support than I have had in the past. I go through "highs and lows." I currently am in a low. My 32 year old son is currently living with me and anytime I try to talk to him he makes comments like "Oh, I'm Shirley and everyone hates me" that only makes me feel worse. My twin sister means well and says things like "you have so many good things going on, focus on that." I feel invisible and on top of everything I broke up with my boyfriend. I'm both sad and proud about that because he broke up with me because I couldn't do enough for him and I refused to do everything he said. In the beginning, it was wonderful, I felt like I finally found someone I could relate to. I feel so alone right now. I will carry on though but I want to make some changes in my life.

What changes do you want to make?

First, trying to find a transfer for my job. The area I work in is very negative. Also going to move my son out of my apartment. I love him but he can be very disrespectful. Put my romantic life on hold for now. I have to be happy with myself first. This site also has been very supportive because it's nice to talk to someone who actually have been through things you have and maybe have great advice.

What do you work in if you don't mind me asking?

What new kid would you like to do?

You can chat to me anytime.

I work in Administration for the Federal Government (VA Medical Center). I like working for the federal government and have been with the VA 10 years now. I have tried to talk to my son about his behavior but it is always turned to , "because I do this, or I do that." Also, he lectures me even thought he pays no rent and has a good job. Thanks for being there to listen, I appreciate it more than I can ever express.

But you want a new job?

He sounds like a teenager, does he have no respect for you at all?

It's ok, we all have bad times and having someone to talk to can make a big difference. You are welcome anytime.

Sadly he is 32 years old, but that is how his dad (my ex) would treat me the same way. I want to stay within the Federal System but I have been working on the medical side for too long.

Do you are going to ask him to leave now?

You want to move to another department?
