Subject:

new job

    so...i have a new job in france starting april, and although i am so excited i'm really scared.

    i only applied becasue my step-mum had been making hints she wanted me to move out. i moved in last november after my grandparents kicked me out, after i found out about my grandad's little secret. i moved in on the agreement that i'd get a full time job and find my own place, i had to quit college and averything because i couldnt afford.

     anyway, she came up with the idea of this job in france to basically get rid of me, and im worried now that when i get back i won't have anywhere to live, at the end of the day she can always say no to me staying here and my dad's not the argumentative type. what she says goes.

    i'm really looking forward to the experience, but i don't know whether i should just reject it and find a job here so i don't have to worry about where to stay when i get back. ill be gone for six months, with no friends or anything.

    i just don't know what to do...advice?

    Hi becky - sounds as if your living situation has been a bit rocky over the last period - and i am wondering how that has felt. Given your experiences it would seem quite normal to feel a bit scared to risk losing the potential to come back. Sometimes it can all seem too much in one period of time. On the flip side you have had the courage to make yourself a very exciting opportunity elsewhere. You know, never is any going back - not meaning you may not return to a place or people - but once you have had a new experience you move on and see things differently. In six months in France who knows what may happen - new people, new place, new experiences ....

    WHat is going to help you decide?

    i have no idea.

    the idea of getting away and making new experiences is great. i just hate the uncertainty about when i get back...

    Perhaps ask her when your dad is there - if it would be OK for you to move back if you don't have anywhere to move on to at the end of the six months?

    my dad would say yes, i know he would.

    but my step-mum would find out and moan and moan...i'm not welcome here, i'm a bit of a mess.

    i just know i'll come back to nothing.
