[QUOTE="Steely, post: 331564, member: 3301"] I am with Suz. I have a 7 year period of time that I took for Matt. I have always explained it as Suz wrote. "I had pressing family needs that caused me to be based from home." Employers are weird, and they are waiting for anything to be a "red flag" in the interview. Saying anything, actually, about your "family problems" is considered a red flag. I would avoid even mentioning it unless specifically asked. And then, if asked, just state the above phrase. I also would not worry about trying to find time for parole meetings, etc. There will be time. You just have to get the job first. Then you can explain your need for time off a thousand ways. "I need to go to a wedding", or whatever. I rarely lie - but in my career I have fudged those types of things a lot to cover up what is going on with Matt. You have to, or else you will be judged and eliminated in quiet and subtle ways. [/QUOTE]
