Employment / job after a felony conviction?
is it hard to get a job even
with a felony? and if so what keeps you motovated to keep
pushing on?
mom kept saying if she could only get a job things would be
ok.... well she would get a job and then lost it....it only
happened once after she got out the first time... and then she
would say no one would give her a chance. needless to say things
didnt get better! is it really that hard to get back into the
swing of things? i hope not. she has been out of work for about
8 years but with little jobs here and there but not many! will
she ever get back, even kinda, to the way she was? |

Re: Employment / job after a felony conviction?
My friend...well, excuse me, a
"person that I no longer feel safe being around but used to use
with and hung out a little bit in recovery"...anyway, she has 6
felonies, and is serving time in a halfway house. One of the
requirements is that she get a job.
There are places that will hire a felon. It depends on the type
of work and the acutal crime comitted. For instance, she had
credit card fraud and theft as 2 of her felonies, so she
couldn't work for a telmarketing company that took credit card
numbers over the phone.
Just wanted to put my thoughts in there. Also, social
services/human services (whatever it's called where you're at)
often have rehabilitation programs to get her hooked-up with
some companies or do training or something.
There is no excuse. And by the way, just MY opinion, everything
wouldn't have been "alright" if she had just had a job. Like
AngieNCali has said to me, "It's an inside deal." It's what's
inside of her. |

Re: Employment / job after a felony conviction?
thank you. she has attempt to
distribute.... and thats all. well that i know of....she does
not tell me everything but i try to get it out of her. i will
check with ss here and see what they can do. i think in my heart
i knew that she wouldnt be "ok" once she got a job but i wanted
it to work so bad. i knew if she HAD SOMETHING to do other than
free time she could kick it. we all make choices....huh. i hope
that all the pain inside of her goes away so i can have her
back. |

If I only had a job things would
be okay, If only someone would care, If only I could out of this
relationship, If only I had a car, If only I weren't alone, If
only I was alone, If Only.... If Only .... If Only ....
They are all excuses. None are true. Though we DO BELIEVE THEM.
Another game our mind plays on us. Lies, Lies, Lies ... and we
Buy into them hook line and sinker... I know I did.
She will never be okay ... EVER .... until she can walk away
from that drug and the lifestyle and everything that goes with
and Learn How to be okay with herself.
Until she realizes her head is lying to her. That this love
affair with Meth has been a Big Lie ... it seduced her to reel
her in and take her over ....
But it is up to her to get to a place where she wants to change.

Re: Employment / job after a felony conviction?
There are things you can do.
Like be honest with her about her B.S. - dont sugar coat things
because you worry about how it is going to affect her. Let her
know how you feel ... how much you love her and care for her ...
But that you want your Mom Back and arent gonna play these games
of hers anymore. Be Firm but fair ... Be supportive with out
being the entire Support. Let her walk on her own to feet and
dont try to catch her when you see her falling instead point it
out to her.
Let her do the work. And call her on her crap when you know that
is what it is.
I know It is hard - and heart breaking. ANd yes Pray pray pray.
I am So glad you are here.
Have you ever used ? |

Re: Employment / job after a felony conviction?
Well good for you. dont ever try
meth ... and dont ever allow yourself to turn into an alcoholic.

Stay focused on the good things in life. Like the new family

Re: Employment / job after a felony conviction?
i will NEVER try it.... after
seeing what it has done to my mom....no way! mom was a very
respected real estate agent for 15 years and after my dad passed
and she got cancer i think it became too much for her to bear
alone. i was not enough to keep her happy as much as i wanted to
be. i became the mother and the child at the same time. it all
started when i was 12 or 13 cant remember. but that is the past
and where it should stay....in the past.
i am also here to try to let go. i am ready to start my family
and become a mohter. it is a new chapter in my life and i am
scared....i want my mommy!
i DO agree that life is too short! after dad and mom getting
cancer i learned that: everyday is a holiday and every meal is a
banquet! live it like it is your last!
congrads!!! i wish you a long happy life together! |
