[quote=Anonymous]OP again. I know that I should leave sooner, for my own sanity and well being, but I am really worried about her reaction if I leave her hanging just a couple of months shy of the end of the school year. I think she'll take the news badly either way, but I'm hoping that by not leaving her without transportation that she'll take the news better. And I know that I shouldn't care so much about a family that has treated me so poorly, but I would feel very guilty of I left them short handed like that. But I know that sticking it out won't be appreciated, because nothing I do ever is.

I have known for months that I wanted to leave, so these last 2 months are going to be really hard. What really made me decide that this job was no longer right for me, aside from being underpaid and taken advantage of, was an incident in December. In Nov. I wasn't feeling well and made a dr appt. I had to make it 1.5 months in advance as they didn't have sooner appts for new patients. I informed MB and she said it would be ok to come in late that day. 1.5 months later at 10am, 30 mins before my appt, I got a call from DB. Not asking for me to come in, but "telling" me that I "had to" cancel my appt and come in immediately because they had a family emergency. I did as they requested and proceeded to work 11-12 hour shifts all week, and even canceled on my 1 day a week family to work for this family. And after all of this I didn't even get a thank you!!! In fact, on thurs night I was told that I would not be needed on Friday as I had gotten too many hours in and they couldn't (or didn't want to) pay me for my regular Friday hours as well. Not to mention that I couldn't reschedule my appt for another 5 weeks and got an attitude when I told MB what day it was because it was inconvenient for her. That was really it for me. That's when it became undeniably clear that they had no appreciation for me and no respect for my life and my time.

And every day since then has been a struggle because I am just so miserable. My anxiety has gotten worse and I dread coming in each day. I don't know why I have allowed myself to be so unhappy for so long, but it will be such a relief when I don't have to deal with this anymore.[/quote]
