1 step forward, 20 steps back.

I rarely ramble on about how much my life sucks, but I just want to vent right now.

All the progress I've made in the past year and a half has officially all been for nothing.

Last February I had just broken up with my partner of 7 years...was sleeping on his couch and looking fruitlessly for a job

Now? I'm sleeping on the afformentioned ex's couch and fruitlessly looking for a job.

It seems like absolutely nothing has changed, I just want to bang my head against a wall, I really do. So much has happened to me yet I have nothing to show for it. It's so frustrating. The worst part is how everybody still treats me like a clueless kid - completely ignoring the fact I had a good job and my own place not all that long ago. Stuff just keeps happening to knock me back every time I get my head above water.

I was living with my brother and his girlfriend, I've been forced to move out. Without going too much in to it - my brothers girlfriend is completely insane. An abusive, self absorbed, thieving lunatic. The type that seems all sunshine and kittens to the outside world. She still has loads of my stuff that she refuses to return. My other laptop - at first she says I gave it to her, but when challenged that changed to "I paid you for that!" - she did not, it was a loan until she bought her own. She has hundreds of pounds worth of makeup and perfumes and other girly stuff I was given before I came out, most of it still in it's packaging, I could have done with the money from selling that stuff, or I would have at least rather given it to my sister. She also lifted hundreds of pounds worth of clothes I had packed away in a suitcase - I didn't notice they were gone until I'd already moved. (I stormed out with all my stuff in tow, didn't think to check my suitcases first, they were never unpacked from moving in) She justifies this by saying they were too girly for me anyway. Not to mention all the times she "borrowed" money from me while I was living there. Yet if I ever asked if she had change for the bus all hell would break loose. Believe it or not, this is the short version of the sister-in-law woes

I had a job, with prospects, I had an appointment with a gender clinic to get on T, and now I've lost it all again because I've been forced to move.





I TRIED SO HARD, AND GOT SO FAR, BUT IN THE END, IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER

Man, that sucks.  I have to say that I don't like living with other people, even if they're nice - simply because I like having my own private place to chill out.  But having to deal with people like your brother's gf would probably induce temper loss.

Did you say you had a job, or you have a job and will lose it because you have to move?  If the latter, are there any affordable rentals in the area so you can keep the job?

I left home when I was 17 and I had to live for a while in a single studio room for £35 per week (~$50). I'd do whatever I could do to have my independence.

Anyway...have a virtual beer on me, mate.  Cheers and good luck!

correct! 10 points to you

I had a job, I spontaniously moved 100 miles north, so no more job. It's a loss I was willing to take just to get the hell out of there ASAP. My brother has apparently never heard of the phrase "bro's before ho's" - he just sat on the fence while his other half repeatedly treated me like dirt. He gets treated like dirt too, but he can leave any time he wants so I have no pity.
