Recently my mom lost her teaching job, and it has had a pretty dramatic effect on his person.

She is frantic in her search for a new job. Her main concern is that she is going to have to go back to her job at subway.

I once said, as a joke, that she should apply at my school as yard duty, and she exploded at me with slurs, saying I would fell better about myself if I saw my mother working like a dog.

Nowdays, she gets really upset if she applies to a teaching job and they don't recommend her. it is probably her blacklisting that has ruined everything.

She says that she can't live without her job, that she will go crazy sitting at home idle.

This is the snare of the SCRIPT. you get so used to working as a wage slave 9-5 that you forget life without it.
