Co Parenting
My ex and I broke up..it was a bad break up..I was able to push my hurt to the side so we could go parent our son. He was 9 months at the time. Our communication wasn’t that great but co parenting was going smoothly until I didn’t respond to a text. Sometimes I look at text messages and respond in my head and forget to actually message people back. Nothing personal..well he took it personal. He started saying I’m a bad mom and even threatened to have ALL my kids removed from my custody. I just told him to chill out and stop getting mad that I saw the text but forgot to respond. He took it personal and that’s when it got worse. He threatened to call DSS and than started speaking on my parental skills..I have a child who is in speech therapy and he said that because I’m not a fit parent my child had those issues. Even after all this I still tried to co parent..I felt like everyone son deserves a father even if they are a butt. His anger just got worse and he got a lawyer..so he says..but he sent me documents about custody but said I didn’t need a lawyer and to just come and sign the papers. Well I’ve watched enough law and order to know not to do that. So once I declined that offer he started sending me emails saying he wished I was dead. So some months go by and I stopped letting him see his son out of fear that he would take him and run and because of the death threats. When my son was 1 he saw me and him at a store and tried to snatch him out my arms..mind you I had my 4 year old with me as well. Cops had to be called and I got an order of trespass. It’s been a year and I’m paranoid about everything. He reaches out to my family friends and even co workers about seeing our son but I fear that history would just repeat itself or he would take him and leave. I live in a state where there are no opportunities so I’m planning on moving after I finish college. I guess my question is how do I stay sane until then. I have to look over my shoulders constantly. No one should ever have to live like this. Sorry the post is so long.

A dream role position has landed on my plate while I’m not feeling my very best due to a health issue.
I’m okay 65-70% percent of time but lately it’s been flaring. I don’t want to lose the opportunity and feel I should at least try and do my best. I'm praying to god, to help me land this job only if its meant to be as im afraid my health “might “ affect my performance. I’m currently still going through the interview process. Would like some feedback from some mid -senior level professionals. Has anyone been in this situation before?

Opinion on secondment
I've been in my company for 9 months .
The perfect secondment opportunity came up .
My manager said to meet the secondment manager.
However, my meeting didn't go well.
I asked all the relevant questions but the secondment manager was very negative in her responses and I felt bad vibes.
The role was perfect and exactly what Ive been dreaming of .
But every question I'd ask she would be negative and say x person is tough x team will write bad reviews.
I didn't know if this was to check how i'd behave so I just twisted it positively and say how I'd adapt and help her with these challenges.
I rejected the opportunity but don't know if it's the right decision.
How do you determine if the secondment is right for you

How long should you stay in a position or company? Do you think there is a standard time?
Curious to know others thoughts on this topic. I've been hearing 2-5 years. I think there are multiple factors that determines the time such as security, money, toxic space, they love the role or company, it's not your career goal, they're bored etc
