Hi I am Alice. I am in my forties and having a rough time.  Within the last two weeks I lost my job that I loved and also broke up with my controlling boyfriend. I am feeling overwhelmed and hurt. I am looking to give and get support. Thank you for listening.

Hello Alice and welcome to 7 Cups, you have taken a beating just recently but believe it's not the end of the world, although it may seem that way.

I am so sorry that you lost your job, a good and positive activity there might be to take the experiences and knowledge from that and look into the possibility of finding a new job in the same field. You obviously have a real passion for it. That passion can become your strength.

Regarding "controlling" bf situation, you deserve to be your own person, I would (as I have in the past) take the break-up to be a sign that it is time for a change, a sign that you deserve better. Be patient with the process, draw strength from your independence and find your footing again.

You have landed amongst caring friends and supporters here, again, welcome dear lady.
Namaste,
D.

Hi Alice, I'm so sorry you're going through such a heavy storm right now. Losing a job you loved while stepping away from a controlling relationship is an immense amount of grief and stress to process all at once. Even though it feels overwhelming right now, walking away from a toxic dynamic takes genuine strength.

  • ​Please give yourself space and grace to just feel whatever comes up—you don't have to have everything figured out today. You are not alone, and reaching out is a brave first step toward healing and rebuilding. Sending you warmth and support as you take things one day at a time.

Hello

Alice I am sorry you lost your job but I am happy you have this courage that makes you speak up

You are a real strong and courageous person loosing a loved job and ending a controlling relationship and speaking up about it make you better.

For your job, how do you plan using your wealth of experience and knowledge in getting yourself another job?

Finding the courage of coming out a controlling relationship shows you are strong and thoughtful, though the coast may seem blink for now but don't you think you feel better and can still find real love?
