| Are you good enough with Spanish that you could be a translator? Ex: by phone for law enforcement and others I'm semifluent, owing to three and a half years' worth of university classes. Unfortunately, I live in a town of 60,000 where there just aren't many jobs. I did get brave, though, and apply ... |

| Well, if you are the only Spanish speaker at work, that does give me an idea. How about mentioning your desire for better work to your customers because you want regular hours. In Spanish. Unfortunately I'm not the only Spanish speaker, so I'm not sure how well that would work. I also am pretty whi... |

| Well, the first thing I would do in your position is start perusing the postings on ShovelBums. I have no idea how to deal with that situation, but at least the dislike seems to be one-sided. I subscribed to ShovelBums, but there isn't anything currently available in my state, let alone my region. ... |

| I freaking hate it. It was used on me long before my diagnosis because my maiden name rhymed with it; even some of my adult cousins used it on me. I also have several special needs relatives and a cousin working on her degree to work with special needs high school students, which has only made me th... |

| So a few months ago my husband told me to text a friend of a coworker to talk about an available job. I did against my better judgment, unfortunately, and now I'm in quite a mess. This woman offered me a job in a retail position, but promised I would work in the back and would have no contact with p... |

| OH the SHAME! i think your family is an extreme example, but the fact that you haven't given in to their trivial tyranny is pretty damn cool in my book :) i'm the oldest sister of three. the middle one sometimes tells me i look awkward or something but she's chill. the youngest one is more like my ... |

| Unfortunately we live a few minutes away from them, so it's really tough not to visit them. As it is, I stopped having them sit for my dog, so at least I don't see them every day. It might seem that way, but it's as easy as not going over and knocking on their door to visit or turning them down if ... |

| Aaaand she's back at it. My husband found work out of state, which has caused her to go nuts. She has insisted we come over at least once a week, and has interfered in our efforts to spend time with our friends, whom we haven't spent time with in over a month because of her demands. My husband made ... |

| So far the worst part of the departure has been getting my third bout of shingles and finding out that my mom complained about my cut off to a friend of mine, who happens to groom my dog and two of my parents' dogs, and asked her to tell me to forget and forgive. It doesn't work that way anymore. I... |

| I am in agreement with you. My parents have zero respect for me as a human being, they never will, and I should move on. I have cut them off, and oddly enough feel no remorse or attachment to them like I have the other times I've tried to cut them off. Yep. If you had a crappy childhood, and your s... |

| I lived with two of them. My father once even called the older of my two sisters and her friends b****es because they would just talk over me when I would try to interact with them and she condoned her friends' talking smack about me behind her back. It still didn't stop my dad from thinking sunshin... |

| Why do you think they are giving you such a hard time to accept you for who you are? Are you trying to give them (particularly your NT sisters) a hard time in return? If they can't accept you for who you are, then why? What's the point? And another thing, most of my friends have little contact with... |
