5. I know that's more than disappointing, but from my perspective you may

be better off being able to look at other opportunities. Even if they pay less, it sounds very much like you would have not been appreciated, maybe even mistreated at that place. There have to be better ones.

Don't know whether you are ready to consider it yet, but this is a new day. As hard as it is, put it behind you. You say you haven't worked in awhile, so that's your job today. Find a way to move on. Find something else to do, to think about, so it enlarges your thinking about possibilities. Call Meals-On-Wheels and offer to deliver a couple of meals - while you are driving look around at the businesses and think about how you might be able to help them. If you are able, throw on some jeans and an old shirt and apply at a day labor place - not for the money, but the fresh air. One never knows, you might get sent to a place where you can check out their human resources board on their nickel.

Most important, however, and as difficult as it may be, is to not let that three years weigh on you. It's over, it's dead weight, there's no need to carry it any further. Put it down, lighten your load, and find another direction.
