2019 was meant to be my year but almost 3 months in and it's s***
I'm trying to remain positive but it's not working.
I was going to tafe but they cancelled it due to low enrolments. I tried to get into another course but they were all full.
I have been working a job interview and the boss basically said to me we don't hire mums. The whole interview was about me being a mother and if I am going to have any more children and if I can get someone to baby sit if need be. He didn't want to know about pass experience or anything. It's made me feel so low and discriminated.
Yesterday I was away and i got a flat tyer to top of a really emotional day after my best friend found out she is very sick. I now need a new tyer but I am so broke can barley afford my rent. It's killing me.
I have an ASD child whos now going to the Dr Friday to be tested for diabetes.
Will things get better. Being positive is so hard sometimes.
Already a crap year

Life can be a tough slog sometimes, it can be unfair, struggles can seem unrelenting.
Take a minute, have a cry, wallow in self pitty for a bit, let out your anger and frustration. Then, accept it, pick yourself up and just keep going!
That's really all one can do!
You got this mate x
Things will get better ❤ In 6 months time you will look back on this and wonder what you were so stressed about.
Hugs
You are aware the boss cant not hire you if you are a mum, or ask if you will have kids
You were discriminated against
Tell him he has to hire you, or you will sue his sorry asss through fair work snd the equal opportunity act
Maaate, that sounds sooo shit! I'm so sorry. You were discriminated against, that is totally unlawful to be asking questions like that. I think you would have a good case if you can be arsed pursuing it. Many women are put off cause you wouldn't want to work with an arsehole like that but maybe they get the sack? As for your hard news about your friend and health stuff with your child, that sounds awful too. Do you have people to talk to? If it's getting overwhelming you could go to your gp for a mental health plan to get some counselling or local community breath or family support service. It is really hard sometimes to find hope. But you sound awesome! And things will change. We're all sending you hope and solidarity from across Australia! Take care. Hugz.
