Very bad. A few years ago I left a position because frankly it was extremely dysfunctional and abusive. No one I turned to for advice (except those who already left) really believed it could be as bad as it was, and the advice was repeatedly to just wait it out. After years of this I just didn't see how it would change, ran out of things to try. Since then things have become even worse than they were where I was, in even more obvious ways. So I feel vindicated in that sense. But feeling vindicated isn't really that helpful, the position was difficult to obtain, and I've had difficulty knowing what to do next. Other similar positions are near impossible to obtain, and part of why I left was because I wanted to go into a different field with more flexibility in terms of positions (the other was to support family). Financially I'm fine but I feel lost, like I'll never be able to reenter a career, despite being capable. I feel as if I'm starting over from scratch and don't know where to go at this stage.
