Please can I just vent here. I feel like I have a continuous torrent of shit coming at me. My H left me last year. Apparently not happy. OW appears shortly after. An ex friend of mine. All sorts of deceit. Sneaky long haul trips, lots of denial and smoke and mirrors from him. Now he wants her to start to go on 'family' holidays with my kids. Lots of smoke, mirrors and lies. Work is rubbish. I am a teacher and I have had constant aggravation from a couple of families about very little. My ta spends considerable amounts of time gossiping about my private life to anyone who will listen. I applied for a new job in school. New challenge. Didn't even get interviewed and they have appointed someone with less than half my experience because they were 'desperate' apparently. My boss left..then the inspectorate arrived. It seems my boss has been neglecting several parts of his job. I get hauled over the coals for tasks that are nothing to do with me. Hate work. Want to leave. Hate small gossipy community. Want to leave. H resisting me leaving saying he won't give permission for me to take the kids even to the next town. And now I have found out my mums cancer is back and the prognosis is poor. Lost my dad five years ago. No siblings. Other side of the world to my mum.
