My g/f of 10yrs is leaving me and her son "to go find herself" because "she's not happy here" anymore...
I could really use a hug rn guys while I navigate opening this new chapter.
Making $20k/yr and affording a place on my own is going to be a challenge in todays economy.
If anyone has any leads on jobs in Michigan or here on nostr, please reach out. Doordash isn't going to cut it.
Thank you for reading.

The honest truth is, you need to make a plan and get moving immediately. You need to be making 3x more so lean on family to look after your son while you build a bright future. 2026 will be hard and life changing.
My bro has 2 kids that he needs to provide for and lost his job recently as the plant moved from Ontario to Michigan. He only has manufacturing experience and landed a job 40 mins away that started immediately after he was let go. Now he works 9 hour days, 6 days a week and it is shift work. That is grinding and you can do that!
if you're an able bodied man there's no excuse. get to work.
I was thinking the same thing yet in a very much not nicer way of saying it.. so i just left it be.
I wish i knew what allowed me to see that i am making my life happen, as opposed to life is happening to me. I know it’s a tough thing to see when one has been holding onto that reality for so long.
But yes. Get to work young man! The world is waiting
I feel for you, friend 🫂
Wishing you well, and good luck on this new chapter
time to quit drugs and beer entirely and start practicing some sport with others
Cannabis and growing it.... saved me from ending up like the rest of the guys I was homeless with and my cousin Cory....
Dead from an OD.
But yes. I get what your saying and you are correct.
🫂💜
Perhaps she has prepared you for this next chapter. You're gonna kill it brother. Move forward without her. You have whatever you need inside you. 🫂💜
Issue is I need to actually believe it....
I believe in you. 💪🏼
🫂 I hope things get better for you
Damn, man. How old is the kid?
5
so is it your kid, or another man's?
It's OUR KID.
She's leaving him with me and removing herself from the situation.
"Leaving her kid"
Please excuse my 8th grade English.
You think maybe that might be part of the problem? "Her kid" as opposed to "our kid" indicates that you keep your boy at arm's length because it's his mama's job to raise him fully. It's real easy to blame the mom when she leaves but it's real hard to look at the mirror.
As a mom myself I could never walk away from my child but sometimes people get overwhelmed when they feel like they're doing something alone that should be a team effort.
Well it's not "her" kid. It's yours. Tighten up your shoelaces, big guy, this will be time to claw your way through. Yu will make it. Because you don't have other options.
We both do our part. It's not one sided at all. If we did a side my side, I do alot more than just get his clothes or make some chocolate milk....
Why would I ever keep my son at arms length?
Everyone's reading into "her kid" way to far...
It's her kid. It's my kid. It's our kid.
Again, please excuse my 8th grade English.
Straight to court…
Make sure to get 100% custody of the child…
Make her pay you support…
Stay strong keep your chin up…
Godspeed
Never... that's toxic asf...
The court only cares about getting money from the family(either side)to make sure its harder for the family to function properly... when families function right, the states lose extra slush pool money...
Going right to court would be giving the government the next generation to siphon money from, because the kid learned from mom and dad, and this is what they did kinda scenario...
I have a post coming up later that I'm working on rn that's going to give you the secret sauce to women that I've found after going through this situation...
I haven't had a relationship last shorter than 3yrs and the woman I went after each time, I got...
I've gone through all the msgs etc to see how a loser like me has had that kind of "luck"...
Turns out it's not luck...
I was doing something no other man has done for them... something most men just miss...
Welp that’s your right not to…
No need to use that right, it's a shifty one that solves nothing and give the enemy money that could be used for my family...
And just before xmas? What a stab in the back! I feel for you dude! Big big hug!
Matthew 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]
This actually happened today...
💜🫂
I'm glad man. Take it one minute, hour, and day at a time.
"Her son" as in not yours?
yeah the kid is 5, they were together for 10 years, so either she cheated or this is his son and he's calling him "her son."
my husband of 32yrs ( we’ve been together 38yrs) just announced he is starting a new chapter away from us in a message to our 3 sons. They had to break the news to me. ( I hate people who respond to someone’s grief with a bigger one … look at me now)
Damn sorry to hear that, I was in a similar situation and that shit is brutal from every angle. Best of luck
What are your qualifications? That might help guide the comments toward what you are looking for.
Sorry to hear that, brother.

🫂 I wish you much strength and wisdom in this difficult situation. 🫂
The last time I had trouble, challenge in life, I recognised I was sick myself.
I mean. I took full responsibility for it and decided I needed to change.
The key though for me was that it was all repetitive patterns, even though I was blaming other people and thought it was righteous to do so.
The first time was okay. The second time was kind of right.
The third or fourth just felt like I was the one to blame. The repetitive situation with the same characters but different actors. As a bad copy of a copy of the same drama.
Anyway, the key is that I recognised I was sick and needed to heal.
I've been using Dr Joe Dispenza's work.
At first, as I am acquainted with it, I did it on my own, I mean no guided meditations. I just started listening to the huge playlist of testimonials in YouTube, very inspiring and lots of wisdom from common folk.
(Using Newpipe on my phone, nonstop, all day long listening to them)
Then, inspired by all of it, started to meditate.
I really recommend doing the breathwork in which you suck on energy from your spine to your pineal gland and then do the blessing of the energy centers.
When you suck the energy from below and create the ascending electric vortex in your spinal chord, memories and feelings of the past that are stuck there start to float up.
And they can be released. Because the things happening to me were patterns of vibration stuck because of trauma or inheritance, so each brain of my body had absurd softwares installed in them.
The breathwork just allows to pull it up so you can perceive it and release it with a good blessing.
Then whenever those centers are clean, there's space, potential has been restored because they don't "overthink" "overdo" or burn out themselves. There is plenty of energy reaching the pineal gland, so then, it is time to create. So it is time to ask yourself what would you do if you were free. How would you act? How would it feel?
The mere act of asking those questions begin to wire cluster of neurones that were asleep because I was in deep resonant trouble down below in my other centers, consuming and blocking all resources and energy. It's ideas and information. It's all mind.
(In-formation, what are we nurturing ourselves with?)
So after doing this everyday I got in love with the process.
You produce changes in you beyond your wildest dreams. Because during waking life, the neurons responsible for meta-cognition are well awake and trained, so you can tell easily whenever you are lying, overreacting, speaking to yourself narratives that are old and useless. Because when you imagined a vision of your future during meditation you knew what it felt like and you created brain pathways to resignify what happened to you. If the future is bright you have no one to blame because the "damage" you were dealt was perfect for you to arrive to said future. Y'know?. If the future is bright because the present became bright, then you had a perfect past.
Rollercoaster indeed, but perfect.
So anyway my dear Nostrian, I appreciate you. You helped me once I needed it. I remember. I will pray for you. Open to receive and be of faith.
Look within where there is all the answers.
A lot of Dispenza's work is available for free, torrent, telegram or YouTube.
Give it a try.
Tip:
Twice I did meditation with a microdose of mushrooms and it was amazing.
A couple if our brains, on top of the head, have to do with the hability to perceive the infinite, the unconditional love, the spiritual realm and also our hability to trust circumstances, to feel worthy. Most of the times we don't feel worthy and we are constantly suspicious of the things happening. That is we think too much and we think we know too much. But as McKenna said:
Worrying is preposterous. We don't know enough to worry.
And as a shaman said to me once: "now speak beautifully to yourself"
Man, I'm here for support if you need.
I hope your eyes are clean.
Your heart is creative.
Your feet put you where your spirit knows is best.

I was in a similar boat.
I drove my ass across the country and
Got a job. I had a 99 Camry and some clothes, and a frying pan.
Gotta walk the fire.
🔥
Zap for the #pan
I have an 02 prius, like 3 outfits that fit, a bag of weed and a cookie sheet.
I'd be gone on the road rn if It didn't break my son and parents relationship.

The universe has a way of figuring things out. Doors close and another opens.
I hope you don’t fall into a bottle, but instead go pick up something heavy.
The opportunity will come.
Old you gotta die, to the new you can be born.
They would work it out if their relationship is strong now.
Stay strong fren. You will find your balance again. 🔥💯
I’m so sorry man! 🫂
I will be praying for you
