I inherited my bad luck from my father. He was a wonderful man who never seemed to get a break. He had a tremendous ethics system built in, and never swayed from doing the right thing. He died at 60, still working and trying to make something of himself.
I did not spend the middle part of my life wisely. I wasn't interested in getting good grades, and when I graduated High School, I wanted no part of going to college. I only wanted to get married and work. I got married, and got divorced. I had lousy job after lousy job and finally went and got an associates degree. Then I got a real good paying job, that wasn't related to my degree, and camped out with one company for 10 years.
Then, I trusted the powers that be and went for a promotion - and got it. I was transferred 1800 miles away - and thought I was making a good decision, both for my career and my family. Unfortunately, I ended up under a man who had conned his way into the company - and he felt threatened by me - and transferred me to another department. He was fired, and led out by security, but nobody would admit his mistake and reinstate me to my original position. I worked it for 10 months and when I asked for a transfer, I was terminated.
I filed a lawsuit against the company for breach of contract. I was blacklisted, and have never been able to secure employment since. That was 1999. Since then, my attorney did nothing on my case, and all the witnesses have long gone. She moved around, changing offices and never kept contact with me. We never even had depositions. The case is still open, but the chance of my coming out ahead is dismal. Especially when you consider that I am unemployable.
I have lived in poverty, sold real estate I had purchased while successful, to pay for food, basically. I filed bankrupcy 4 years ago. I have nothing to my name anymore.
And these things continue, I still can't get a job, although I am smart, attractive and an excellent employee. I make money by working at home, and that's to my credit, but then I'm isolated from everyone.
There are days when I feel like ending it all. To this day, I cannot get a break.
I'm a good person. I volunteer to help others.
WHY?
