So much of this is stuff I totally relate to. A life of fear. It’s all I’ve ever known. Every decision I’ve ever made has been fear based. The outcome is always as you described it. You become invisible.
This touched me deeply. The way you speak of over-giving in jobs really resonated with me. That's what ultimately burned me out completely of corporate jobs. Over-giving was actively encouraged there too. I just realized how much grief I have with all that too.
Thanks Sam. This is heartbreaking when you see it but to think you might slip back into it is even more daunting. You fight so hard to get yourself out and now I know how hard I will keep fighting to stay out.

I bet being a single mother made the fear worse. I don't have kids.
There are people depending on you.
That is a deeper game.

I get the fear. I’ve been there too as a single mum putting up with jobs I shouldn’t have stayed in.
