Hey /adv/, I came here a couple of years ago asking for advice on how to get a gf, and managed to get a girl for a few years before leaving the relationship because I wasn't really being treated well. I doubt the people who gave me some pointers are still here but still, ty. At least I managed to accomplish something.

I'm back again because I need some more advice but this time I really need some kind of direction as well as some direction for my sister too. Also sorry for blog-posting, but I gotta give context. Im in my 30s, living with my mom atm and I've been practically working my ass off doing retail jobs and what-not. I've been pushing myself over and over again through life-shit, essentially being the person any of my coworkers depend on at every job I've been at. At this point it's just obvious that most people would rather not reciprocate and leave a good majority of work only for me so my trust in people is completely shot because of childhood, family, 1st relationship, and work now.
After years and years of just working, I've only managed to scrape up a few thousand dollars with rent and stupid life/family shit that keeps eating away at my bank account. I busted my ass and managed to somehow get an associates in Math & Sci so I guess that's my highest credential going forward, as my dad was using my tuition money to cheat on my mom so I've been stuck with a partial amount of this student debt for years and years.

Atm my heads a complete mess and I haven't been able to think straight at all for years. I feel like a zombie that's just slugging through life and shit's just getting worse and worse. Is there anyone that's managed to get out of retail into a cushy job that is viable full time as a walking corpse? I live in Cali and the people here are draining, but I'm willing to work my ass off some more but just not any physical labor because of the aforementioned. Wtf should I do? Especially with the current war and the state of this country? How should I go about the decline in the job market and all the lay-offs?

As for my sister, she married a guy and had 2 kids with a guy in the Army and at first he seemed like a good person. He comes from a rich father and is I guess some middle-rank so he makes somewhere around 7-8k a month I think. We found out that he's been trying to cheat on my sister and has been spending insane amounts of money on dumb shit. I told my sister that she should talk to the military and see if they can get her a lawyer to file for divorce, get alimony, and child support payments. Is there anything else she needs to do from here on out? Is there anyone that can give specifics on what the right steps are here?

Life has been utter shit so far. It's been stressor after stressor and life isn't really letting up. I don't have friends or any other family at all. How exactly should I get to a place that's at least somewhat stable? I'm mostly asking all of this just so I can get ahead in helping my mom out. Please help :(

So your post boils down to
>How do I make more money so I can use to solve my problems?
Damn, I wish I knew.
Good luck for you though.

Sorry to hear about your situation mang. I was here 2 years ago, but I dunno if I remember your thread. In any case, I'm also sorry things didn't work out GF-wise, but IMO it's best to think about that kind of stuff once you're on calmer waters... but who knows, if the opportunity shows up again, you can (and maybe should) take another shot at it.

I think you did and are doing great given your situation. You've showed determination, worked hard and pushed through for you and your family, that's something that is rare, unfortunately.

Maybe with your degree you can apply for a more well-paying job, if you're unsatisfied with what you currently have. Maybe in accounting, data analysis, programming jobs, a manager in a small-ish business at first, stuff like that. What matters is that you should have more opportunities at hand with it.

About your sister, I can definitely relate. Something similar happened with a cousin of mine.
I recommend consulting with a lawyer about it and seeing if you can get her to receive child support. If she has enough evidence that he is cheating/neglecting the wellbeing of his daughter, than it shouldn't be too hard to receive child support... but I am not sure on how to proceed on those legal matters. Sorry.

All in all, I wish you and your family the best, OP. I hope things go well to all of you man, you seem to be hard-working and honest, and I think that's always worthy of admiration.

Are you taking care of yourself physically and mentally? I think you'll need to be in top shape to pull yourself out of all of that.
