I’m 32 with 3 children. No education really, passed my GCSE’s and got an extended diploma in business (not by choice, it was just there at the time) my relationship is miserable and I know I couldn’t financially support myself, my children and a home.
For a long time I’ve wanted to better myself, achieve something, get an education. OH always shuts it down and says it’s my job to be there for the kids, that I can’t do both etc. But I honestly can’t live like this forever.
I’ve tried to talk to my mum about what sort of job I may be good at but she just comes up with reasons why I wouldn’t be good at things and tells me she can’t think of any kind of work I’d be good at 😩 my brother on the other hand is her blue eyed boy, has restarted his computing degree 3 times now! Got to the very end, didn’t finish the final year and now has to go back again in January 🙃 has no family, lives at home with mum, has never worked a day in his life and contributes absolutely nothing to the household. She made a comment to me recently “he may have come off the tracks but at least he was on some” 😂
Huge issue is I’ve never known what I would like to do for work. I got pregnant young and have just worked dead end jobs.
Any ideas on how I could start off please? How to decide on a direction I’d like to take? Is there anyone I can speak to about that? Do I start at the bottom and get GCSE level qualifications again? If so, how?
Just so fed up of feeling embarrassed 😩
Sorry for the rambling, don’t really have anyone to talk to about it!
