Let's see @BlueBay
What I do know about is that families may not thank anyone for dinner - the wife and mother has always provided it and what's the big deal? - it's soul destroying.
My ex-h used to stare at his dinner as if it was tainted and eat it slowly and silently. Early in married life I asked him if he liked it and his reply stuns me to this day when I think of it. He told me if he told his mother he liked something it would be his dinner for days on end - egad!! - Got it - I only cooked for him because I was cooking for myself and the children - but when they were gone things fell apart - our marriage was over and I was so relieved.
Families can be so annoying and take so much for granted. You seem to be having super-dose of that. It is important to find a way of making yourself heard though - and this is difficult because they don't want to listen. I can tell you this though - when you are frustrated and angry they know something though and react in various ways as you have mentioned -
I don't envy you in your position though you might find mine challenging. I am glad I am alone - I can do what I choose when I choose. I have the TV on a lot of the time so I can keep in touch with what's happening and unexpectedly I had three calls while I was writing my previous post to you. One of them was my daughter and that was good to have. Her hours at work are being cut - they are providing their services on-line and I guess that has limits too. She's okay
Of course you are wanted - never fear about that - there is no need. I am being to gather that people MI to have concerns about that and I read something important about MI and people fearing they are not good enough - this was somewhere else on-line - it's not true thought - everyone has the right to be here - regardless - and I value you too.
There's no need to worry you won't be able to do the work in a bakery - have you asked what you will be expected to do - if you are serving then you are used to doing that - you would have to be qualified to bake the bread so they won't expect that I think you will be okay and I would take that chance if things were different
Keep in touch - I needed time out but I am okay and certainly have the time to chat - I hope you got a sleep - that is the best thing - and take one thing at a time - worry about stuff solves nothing - perhaps I have had longer to learn that - I am not sure when I stopped worrying about things
I thought I would just tell you - I have decided to visit my cousins overseas when all of the chaos is over - the thought of flying over the Pacific from Melbourne to Vancouver is daunting by I have decided to do it - it's just the thought of all that ocean - ocean - ocean - but it would be worth it to see them again after so long
You will be okay - I am sure of it - as much as anyone can be sure of anything right now

And yes - you might be able to get a job in a pharmacy because you are qualified and experienced for that but you can have one day a week somewhere for now if you can manage it
