[Knickerbocker]

Apologies, as this is more of a complain/vent post.

I am job hunting and one of my prospects was returning to my old job. Unfortunately, several of my old coworkers attend church with my father and he has been telling them things in order to sabotage my rehire. He did this the whole time I worked there. I can't do much about it, but it's still frustrating and disgusting.

I often wonder how it comes off to them to see a deacon spreading gossip about his own son. It's surprising to me that he really believes that he can sabotage me to trap me and I'll still take care of him as he gets older. I guess at least it means I'm doing a good job hiding that I've figured him out and I'm planning to escape.

Stay strong out there everyone, and anyone being abused, I hope you find a way out.

I hope you find a way out of the abuse, as well, Knickerbocker.

Could you possibly move to another town to get away from your father?
