I have had a hard time keeping a job the last 3 years. I have been fired from every job that I have had and it has not been due to work performance. I have been weeded out and it is so hurtful. I feel like I have no control over my life or finances and I have the potential to become someone I don't want to be. I feel like I am being pushed into poverty and my family is trying to break my spirit. I got accepted to an excellent school and will be finished with my masters degree at the end of next year. My degree is being disregarded, the fact that I don't have a lot of money is being brought up everyday. They try to tell me I am out of control and I don't have anything going on and that I am at rock bottom. I am in graduate school at 29 years old and I take care of myself the best that I can. I feel frustrated having to address my financial situation because they bring me into this defensive conversation where I feel like a child. They try to insinuate that I am easy to other men and are always trying to block opportunities for me because they don't think I am good enough for them. I want to disassociate myself but when I was more financially stable I allowed them to help me with somethings, believing I would never have to face the embarrassment of not having enough money to meet all of my obligations. Now I am being emotionally beat down by my family to a point where we won't be speaking in the next few years, because they have showed me such a lack of respect. I am also nervous about graduating from school. I have not been able to keep one job, which makes it that much harder to get another one. I am qualified to no end, but I can not explain that someone just didn't like me and wanted me gone. I am not broken, but I feel like I should feel sad for myself but I don't. I feel like it I keep moving forward things will get better, as they always have. I don't want to sacrifice school to get a job. You don't sacrifice everything for a little, because you will only have that little and everything will pass you by. I have listened to my family over and over, and they always told me to stay in situations where I was being attacked and I listened because obviously working is better than not working. When I am fired, they insinuate it was my fault and I am a loser. I feel like I let someone convince me time and time again to shoot myself in the face and then allowed them to chastise me about the wound. I want to move further so bad, but now I don't know what is right from wrong. I am in complete trauma, I don't have a job! I have not been able to keep a job, and I am working on a career, doing two internships (free) and working toward applying to PhD programs. How am I a loser? Because a bill fell behind? But that is how I am looked at by every person. I am always the target, all the time and I don't know how to fix it. Long read but I need some help!
