Confirmed what I already knew

I got a call from my niece who ghosted me after she turned 18. Shes 25 now. She sent me a text today saying hello aunt. I found it weird she would text me and she has never called me aunt. I told her it's weird for you to text me so what's up. She said it wasn't serious she just wanted to wish my happy 4th. I just found it weird that's all because I never gotten on well with my living siblings because they hated the fact I was different than them. Even as adults they still don't like me and I don't talk to anybody on my late dad side of the family. And I moved to another state to get away from them. So she texted me from another phone saying I'm the weirdo and that's why nobody on my dad side fuck with me. She said my kids hate me. I know that part isn't true. See I always knew my dad side don't like me and don't talk to me. And I don't talk to them either I don't even claim them. But my niece confirmed that nobody on my dad side like me. It was a little hurtful but I'm not surprised because I knew all of this since I was 12 and I'm 51 now. But it's kinda different when you know something but another story when someone else confirms it. And she would know because she's close to her granddad side of the family. So have y'all ever not been close to family members and someone else in the family confirmed the reason why.

any caregivers with homes

Any caregivers here that work as a caregiver for a agency. Not taking care of family members. I would like to buy a house but as a caregiver our jobs are very unstable. What I mean by that Is as a caregiver. We don't know what will happen to our clients. Like the client might have to go to the hospital or to rehabilitation and they usually stay in rehab for months. Or if they pass away and we won't have anymore income. And working for a agency mean if you don't work you won't get paid. Which is why I'm scared to buy a house. I don't want to have a permanent client then buy a house. Then something happens to the client and I won't have the money to pay the bills. So how do y'all with homes as a home caregiver do it.

50 and no friends?

Any women on here in their 50 and have no friends. Not even acquaintances. Due to home trauma it messed me up so bad that I became anxious shy quiet and nervous. No friends in school either. Wasn't liked and bullied at school and wasn't liked at jobs I had as a adult because I was quiet. I had one friend as a adult who was 35 years older than me. Today although I'm married I still have no friends. Im so awkward i don't even know how to talk to people to make friends. So I believe I'm fated to not have any friends. Anyone here in the same boat I am over 50 and no friends?

Talkative clients

Have anyone had a client who was so talkative they wouldn't shut up. I went to this client house yesterday. And he talked so much and wouldn't shut up. I understand he was just wanting to get to know me. But as a introvert I'm not used to talking so much. Small talk Is fine but going on and on non stop for the whole shift was draining to me. And then when we finally got to watching TV. He paused it ten minutes later to ask me what was on my mind. And yes I was talking to him because I didn't want to be rude. But I don't talk a lot and I'm not used to going to clients house and the client is a talker. And those types of clients want to be constantly entertained in conversation without no break. When we picked his wife up from work she was a talker too like what. I can't handle this. I had a choice to stay the whole shift or leave since the wife was home and I choose to leave. Then the wife said if I ever wanted me time I could come to their house. I said to myself constantly entertaining y'all through nonstop conversation is not my idea of down time. So I won't be back over there. They need a client whose talkative like them. It wasn't for me. For the caregivers who are introvert or talkative caregivers how did y'all handle a nonstop talkative clients who expected you to talk non stop.

Gut feeling

People with jobs. Have y'all ever had a gut feeling y'all was getting ready to be fired. I'm a caregiver and the client wife fired be over a simple mistake. But three weeks before my firing I knew something was wrong because her attitude changed towards me. And she started listening in on my chats with the client. It was nothing inappropriate. But her husband was inappropriate with me. So basically if you have a feeling your about to be fired then you probably will be.

Fired from my caregiver job

I was a caregiver for a client with the wife in the home for almost five months. I was doing a good job and the wife liked me or so I thought she did. But the last two weeks her attitude changed towards me. She got mad at me because I turned off the bathroom light. And she came into the room assuming I was talking about something that I wasn't talking about. Her husband liked to watch porn with the aides in the room with him too. I believe she fired me because she became jealous. And I didn't tell anyone how inappropriate her husband was to me. He told me he wanted to have sex with me but I said no. I didn't tell my agency I just kept it to myself. So for the past two weeks she would mean mug me like she was plotting on getting rid of me. So the day of my firing finally came because when I was giving him a bed bath I turned the bed setting off and forgot to turn it back on. So she called my agency and had me fired from the shift. Here's the thing I still a little upset with. I thought she liked me enough to give me another chance. I texted her and said I was sorry but she was really mean and harsh saying stuff like she doesn't trust me anymore and to leave her and her husband alone. I was floored at that response. It was like maybe she never liked me at all to just discard me like trash.

Fired from Job

I was a caregiver for a client I really liked. I was taking care of the husband. I was there for almost 5 months. I thought the wife liked me because she would say she was glad I was there. But suddenly for the last two weeks her attitude changed towards me. She got angry at me for turning out his bathroom light and she started listening in on my conversations with her husband. Her husband liked to watch porn with the aides in the room too. But I didn't tell anyone how inappropriate her husband was to me. He told me he always wanted to have sex with a blk girl and ask me if I would have sex with him. I said no. I don't really know why the wife friendly attitude changed towards me. I believe it was because she became jealous. So within those two weeks she stopped liking me it was like she was waiting on me to mess up so she can fire me. And that day came. When I gave him a bed bath I turned the settings off on his bed and forgot to turn it back on so she called my agency and had me fired from the shift. This the part I am still sad about. When I texted her and told her I was sorry she was so harsh with me saying I don't want to back and I don't trust you anymore and to leave me and my husband alone. I was upset when she said that because I thought she liked me enough to give me another chance. But instead treated me like I was nothing. I took good care of her husband but I believe she fired me because of jealousy.

I don't have physical friends I can talk to. I had two online friends for the past five years and I found out yesterday that one passed away. The last time I talked to her was in December and she said she wasn't feeling well. I have another online friend and she said she has some health issues too. We all bonded over our awful home life and kept in touch. I'm not close to my living siblings and extended family except one aunt. But now the aunt is 90 and have dementia. So I guess you can say I've lost her too. Do anyone want to take my friend place and be my online friend.
