I do this then get yelled at - "NO, you need to do THAT, I TOLD you that already! How come you don't get it - everyone else does!" So it was a great day of just being wrong with every single thing I did.
Then T canceled on me. I was bummed. We haven't seen her for a month - tried to get an earlier apptmt because not dealing with the work stress but couldn't, and now we can't see her til the end of September as I am going away.
We tried to set up a skype apt with ex t, but 3 weeks ago she told us she would contact us to set up a time, and she hasn't yet. We can't do that til the end of Sept now too.
Then abusive effing father calls to say the stupid mother woman is very ill (is looking pretty serious now) and he needs me. He effing needs me. I don't want that. It scares the crap out of me. I see months of her health declining and his needs increasing and I just. cant. deal.
Meanwhile my studies are falling further behind and I have to go away for a month for something study related that I am completely unprepared for given the year of work hell.

I am sorry to hear you are under such pressure. Is it possible that you may switch at work and you don't know about the changes in the rules. Or do you think she is harassing you? And is it possible to not answer the phone when your father calls? I eliminated toxic people from my life by not talking to them unless it was for something I wanted to know. It took awhile but they stopped calling. And when I want to check up on something I'd call them. Ask my question. Have some small talk (very little) than find an excuse to hang up. Like I'm in traffic or my phone is dying. It's been one of the best things I did for my mental health. I didn't talk to my father for 10 years before he died and I have absolutely no regrets. He was a pervert, and toxic. People like this try to pull us back down into their insanity. But if they can't talk to you they have nothing. I hope you have a better month going forward. Take care.
