for dating with different men at the same time?

I reached my breaking point after 2 years of being ghosted and manipulated

I have been in a toxic cycle for two years with a man who specializes in the disappearing act. He would treat me like his future wife for a week, then vanish for months without a word. While we were together, he would openly flirt with others, making me feel completely invisible. I stayed because I was addicted to the crumbs of affection and the promises of marriage he would dangle whenever I tried to leave.

Has anyone else ever reached a point where they started acting like their manipulator just to get them to stop? I feel lost.

Mine is when cats randomly choose me as their temporary employee on the street.

I don’t own them. I don’t know them. But somehow for 3 minutes I become responsible for their emotional wellbeing 😭

Sometimes stress alone feels more tiring than physical work. You wake up already mentally drained and spend the whole day trying to calm your thoughts.

I miss the feeling of having a genuinely peaceful mind for even one full day.

which place of istanbul accept second hand stuffs?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for guidance regarding my current immigration situation in Turkey.

I’ve been living in Istanbul for over 7 years and held a valid residence permit continuously for around 8 years. I always tried to follow the rules and stay fully compliant.

Last year, I obtained a work permit and started working legally. Later, I had to change companies, and the new employer applied for a transfer. Unfortunately, due to issues on their side, the application wasn’t completed properly. Around the same time, my previous permit was canceled.

Since then, my situation has become very complicated.

I applied again for a residence permit as a backup, but it was rejected under Article 32. I am now out of legal status, even though I did everything I could to stay compliant.

I have already spent a significant amount of money on applications and legal fees, and I’m now trying to understand the best way forward.

What makes this more difficult is that I am the sole caregiver for my elderly mother who lives with me here, so leaving the country is not a simple option.

At this point, I’m considering:

Filing an appeal against the rejection

Applying for humanitarian residence

I would really appreciate any guidance on:

Which option is stronger in practice (appeal vs humanitarian residence)?

Whether it’s possible or advisable to pursue both

If there are any NGOs or organizations in Turkey that provide support (legal or financial) in cases like mine

If anyone has gone through a similar situation or has knowledge about this process, your advice would mean a lot to me.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
