I Lost My Job

[Felix Falora]

My parents decided yesterday that they hated me job. So they made me quit. What else could I do?

I can't walk to them. I can't drive. They weren't gonna drive me. They made me pick up the phone and quit.

You know... I feel like I was just sliced apart. They yelled at me vindictively to get a job. Called me useless without one, said how lazy and like my bastard cousin I was even as I looked for one. I finally find one and they're happy. Then they decide they don't like it because of one thing the company does and they call it exploitation and force me to quit.

No doubt they'll continue to bitch me out for not having a job, even after they took the one job I managed to find away from me.

I've never been a man to contemplate suicide. Whenever something bad happened, I always considered it the fault of the person who did it. When someone insulted me or attacked me, I didn't feel hopeless. I went into a blind rage, attacked them. Not the healthiest solution, but it did guarantee I would never take the knife to my own throat. But now... I do feel hopeless. I don't think I'll ever leave this hell.

Why? Why would they do this to me, guys? I just wish I knew.

...Holy crap... that is jackassery in the first degree. My condolences, Felix... unfortunately, I have no advice for you... sorry.

Right, that's it. Allow me to step in and be the voice of reason here.

First of all, suicide? Really, Felix? You're better than that, and I know you know that. It's not a last resort, it's just NOT AN OPTION.

Secondly, I'm almost certain you have options. There has to be some public transport in your area. My godmother has gotten through her entire life with a successful teaching career without a driver's license, ever. She relies on the bus system, and knows it by heart, and is wonderfully indepedent, so if she can do it, you can do.

Also, if you see your parents as that much of an obstacle, you just, you have to leave. There are places you can go, and you may have to settle for a halfway home for a little while until you get a steady job and income.

Sometimes you have to make difficult decisions like this that may seem like a hit to your pride. But you have to man up and decide for yourself what to do. You're a grown man, you are capable of making your own decisions.

That's my perception on the situation based on what's being presented here. If it isn't accurate, and this post of mine does nothing for you, then I'm sorry.

Stay strong, Felix.
